An Oscar-winning story comes to the American stage for the first time in a play by Dan Gordon, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry, and the screenplay by James L. Brooks. Terms of Endearment traces the relationship between a highly opinionated mother and her feisty daughter as they seek to find humor and courage in the face of life’s challenges. This funny and touching story about love captures the delicate, and sometimes fractured, bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers, both old and new.

Can it really be that Molly Ringwald, who for a generation of moviegoers — my generation of moviegoers — will forever be fondly recalled as the fresh-faced, lovable teenage star of John Hughes movies, is now playing a grandmother? Gulp. Yes, I’m afraid that much time has passed. Those of us who know what the term Brat Pack refers to are all receiving monthly mailings from AARP, and now Ms. Ringwald — still looking pretty fresh-faced, actually — is starring in a stage version of “Terms of Endearment,” playing the role that won an Oscar for Shirley MacLaine in the popular 1983 movie. (It was just a year later that Ms. Ringwald shot to stardom in Mr. Hughes’s “Sixteen Candles.”)
