Kinfolks

Kinfolks is a collection of three one-act plays about family discord with which people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds can identify. You may see your family or one you know in these plays. The stories include themes of love, betrayal, regret, emotional manipulation, sacrifice and knowing when to say "NO MORE!" Step into the intricate web of familial dynamics with these three captivating one-act plays (plus one monologue), each poignantly reflecting the complexities that define family bonds. Despite their flaws and imperfections, these characters are bound together by a shared heritage, a common history, and an unbreakable bond that transcends their trials. Ultimately, they are not just relatives—they are family ...Kinfolks. What are the three plays (plus one monologue)? Catholic Girls Set in 1970s. This school has a charm of its own. Part of the charm are the two sisters, Carrie and Marguex, who work at the school. When one sister is invited to a dinner with the other sister's secret crush, the dynamics of power change but the lesson is timeless. The Stage Mother: A Love Story Set in 1989. All parents want to see their child succeed … right? But, what happens to the child when the parents take the quest for control and success a little too far? Daisy Horne (a monologue) Set in 1969. One woman tells of a courageous escape from an abusive husband who employs and thereby owns half the town where she lives. She speaks of her departure and the carnage left behind. Give a Little/Give a Lot Present Day. Family can be a blessing and sometimes what can feel like a curse. Sometimes family can help propel you forward in life and other times, those family members can hold you back and "suck" the life out of you. Sarah must come to grips with how her family impacts her life and whether she will allow the emotional manipulation to continue. This event is family friendly. All tickets $10 until May 25th!! After that, tickets are $15-$20.
