"Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws." - Barbara Kingsolver

It's moving day at Landry Meadows Assisted Living and Nursing home. It's the day when those who need more acute care move upstairs to the memory care unit. Diane and her son-in law
Kevin are negotiating the morning carefully when dementia takes over. Kevin's husband Dop won't even answer the phone. This day has been coming for a while and yet, no one seems ready for it, except Diane.

Cast List: TBD, please audition!

Admission: Free and open to the public. Seating is limited and first come, first served.

Each summer at the end of July, we present a three-day event showcasing readings of student work from the Playwright’s Lab. These readings are minimally staged for the general public and close to a dozen theatre professionals as respondents from as far away as Los Angeles and from as close as right here in Roanoke. Many of the plays that first saw public viewing at our summer reading festival have gone on to be published and produced by major companies. Get acquainted with these plays, playwrights, actors and directors before they are famous! You'll also be helping to develop these new works by engaging in the conversation with our students, faculty, and guest artists.
