An estranged mother and daughter. A decade of silence. One night to face the truth.

This gripping performance will be sure to evoke a range of emotions so common to the human condition.

 

Rick Goodwin is an accomplished playwright who has written more than 15 plays with appearances locally and in New York. Director Nancy Ridgeway is a seasoned director and producer of plays and musicals in and around Bucks County and Philadelphia.

 

The cast of Nancy Vander Zwan and Morgan Petronis are the perfect actors to tell this story.  Nancy and Morgan have extensive experience in a variety of different roles and productions enabling them to bring great depth and understanding to these characters.
