Expedient Family

FARCE. When Dex’s boss, A.J., invites herself over to his house to meet his wife and daughter, Dex has just one small problem—he has no wife or daughter! Afraid he will be fired for lying on his employment application, the blissful bachelor has just hours to transform himself into a family man. With time running out, Dex elicits the help of a male substitute teacher to pose as his “wife” and a junior high drama student to play his “daughter.” But when Dex’s “wife” begins flirting with his boss and Dex’s ex-girlfriend shows up, the evening takes a few unexpected turns!
