    These Flowers Are for My Mother
    Michael McGuire

    Play Description

    A comedy with tragic overtones, THESE FLOWERS ARE FOR MY MOTHER concerns husband, Adam, and wife, Eden, who are locked in a custody battle for their gifted son, Alan, whom Eden believes is in need of her nurturing to realize his potential. While the boy is the master of ceremonies for much of the play, the action revolves around which parent will get him and whether he will be able to achieve a compromise solution involving boarding school and summer camp. Another driving element is the pursuit of Eden by child psychologist, Dr Wright, who is fascinated by her while being available to either parent as a hired “expert witness.”

    Play Description

    Ah the joys of sleepaway camp: raids, color war, a slavish devotion to social hierarchy. For the girls of Bunk 14, camp isn’t an eight week vacation; it’s a dog-eat-dog microcosm of the adult world they’re so desperate to inhabit. Join Ashley, Zoe, Tracy, Samantha, and Abby on a hilarious yet terrifying 90-minute thrill ride into the deep, unexpectedly dark and dangerous world of twelve-year-old girls. Everyone wants to climb the social ladder, but maybe it’s better to stay put on the bottom rung. After all, you never know when you’ll be the victim of an accidental shove to the depths of social homicide, or worse.

    Eddie Sanchez has never been out of New York City until now when he takes relics of his dead mother to her sister in Nautla, a tiny village on the Gulf Coast of Mexico where his parents were born. He meets a leper, a lovely girl, his aunt and uncle, a strange itinerant worker and her son, in that order. But there is no order. Nautla is no place for strangers, and Eddie isn’t the only stranger.
