Synopsis

This volume of thirteen scenes by writers from Canada, USA, and Norway brings an abundance of mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts and uncles and “outsiders.”

It’s August 1945 and the interior of rural British Columbia has a Japanese internment camp. Two teenagers tease apart the prejudices of skin color, religion and social manners.

Jump to 1991. The Kinfolk family ancestry is African, Jamaican, and Native American. They have lived on a mountain apart from civilization for 12 generations in a forest in the mountains in northern New Jersey. But immense decisions lie ahead.

In Chicago's far north side, affectionately known as "Little India," we join the Vishnuls sisters arguing about the merits or pitfalls of tradition versus modern ways. In “Harriet’s House” tensions run high as the adopted Colombian sisters prefer to speak in English rather than their native Spanish.

Playwrights with works in this volume: Catherine Frid, Cecilia Copeland, Cheryl Games, Anita Chandwaney, Christina Cigala, R. Johns, Jennie S. Redling, Robin Rice Lichtig, Virginia (Ginger) Fleishans, Lene Therese Teigen, Lea Galanter, Tara Goldstein, Vanda.
