SYNOPSIS: The bonds of love and necessity run deep in these plays, whether it's young mothers trying to cope with the pressures of parenthood, two castaways in a lifeboat trying to stay sane, a sister saying goodbye before going into space with aliens, or an adoptive mother and birth mother battling over a child they both love. Whether sisters, mothers, neighbors, or castaways, the women in these eight short pieces are deeply intertwined in each other's lives. Individually, these plays have delighted audiences across the country, from the Boston Theatre Marathon to the Seattle Fringe Festival. Together, they comprise an evening full of laughter and tears that will resonate deeply in the hearts and minds of audiences.
