“King” LeBron James’s years playing in Cleveland bring promise to a city in desperate need. His tenure also unites Shawn and Matt in an unlikely bond forged by fandom.

Challenges in life and love test the resilience of a mother-daughter relationship in Dan Gordon’s adaptation of Terms of Endearment, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry and James L. Brooks’s screenplay of the Oscar-winning film. Though Emma is often exasperated by her highly-opinionated mother, Aurora, they talk daily about their problems, from Aurora finding unexpected love even as she becomes a reluctant grandmother to Emma’s struggle in her troubled marriage. But when they need one another most, will they be able to find courage in each other? This funny and touching story captures the delicate, sometimes fractured bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers, both old and new.

The cast of Terms of Endearment:

Tate Albert – Garrett Breedlove

Mark Hodgdon* – Rudyard/Dr. Maise

Victoria Lamberth – Aurora Greenway

Lauren Otis – Emma Greenway

Jered Shults – Flap Horton

Mary Weisberger – Patsy/Doris/Nurse
