Directors Note
This play stared me down the first time I looked it in the
eye – I couldn’t finish. I was still living it. A year later, I could read it
but I was biased, a judgmental pair of eyes with gritted teeth. Sometime passed
and some forgiveness seeped in allowing hope to sprout. Nancy banks, Amanda
Brooks, Ryan Surratt, Rochelle Greenwood and Jonathon Tucker approached me with
such inspiration, courage and willingness that the humanity of this story
became an invitation.
We grow and evolve into relationships and for some, into parents. The children we have are the heart and soul of who we can be. Their love is the source. The humanity of this play and our world at large is in allowing this source to flow through ourselves as well as everyone else involved.
