According to TACT, "In The Late Christopher Bean, Yankee practicality collides with New York's sophisticated Art World as all hell breaks loose when a celebrated painter's early works are traced to the humble home of a country doctor. Both a biting satire on the destructive power of greed and a touching view of a family in turmoil, this feisty comedy will have you cheering for the most unlikely heroines."
Jenn Thompson directs a cast that includes Mary Bacon as Abby, the doctor's plainspoken maid, Cynthia Darlow as Mrs. Haggett, Greg McFadden as Tallant, James Murtaugh as Dr. Haggett, James Prendergast as art critic Maxwell Davenport, and guest artists Bob Ari as art dealer Rosen, Hunter Canning as local house painter Warren Creamer, Jessiee Datino as younger daughter Susan Haggett and Kate Middleton as elder daughter Ada Haggett.
