About the plays:
A Blooming of Ivy by Garry Williams On a quiet spring morning in rural Indiana, widow Ivy's routine is interrupted by an unexpected visit from George, a longtime neighbor — and longtime admirer. What starts as a simple cup of coffee blossoms into a conversation about love, loss, and the courage to let life surprise you again.
According by Arlene Flower It's a frigid New Year’s Day in suburban Chicago when three adult siblings gather in the backyard — along with their late mother’s ashes in an unusual container. Between biting winds, biting humor, and long-buried family tensions, they wrestle with what it really means to be a “normal" family.
Rain by Garry Williams On a farmhouse porch at dusk, Rain follows Mary, her husband Staff, and their son Tyler as they wait and pray for a life-saving storm. With the drought as a pressure cooker, the play mixes earth-worn humor, flashes of grief and anger, and blunt conversations about faith, fear, and survival.
Join us for an evening of laughter, tenderness, and humanity — where each story reveals how the smallest encounters can change the course of a life.
