This collection is filled with winners. Every play is an award winner and has been performed around the country. Each part gives an actress a chance to put in a winning performance. From the quirky characters in
Rock, Paper, Scissors to the exercising ladies in
Harvesting the Marigold Seeds; from the two caretakers of all the unborn babies in
Limbo and with the final appearance of God, these characters will delight audiences from start to finish.
Moving On is a hilarious evening of short plays that will have the audience laughing, crying and thinking about how women face the challenges of moving on while staying connected to the past. A winning combination!
