Unpaid caregivers spent 17.7 billion hours caring for those with Alzheimer's in 2013. The musical aims to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research by telling the story of a daycare center for Alzheimer's patients that is set to close. It provides information on how to support and vote for the musical.
