Produced by Hollins Theatre Institute and Mill Mountain Theatre as part of the 2025 Winter Festival of New WorksWritten by ArLynn Parker. Directed by Vanna Richardson.
"The family I'd been tricked into choosing was never going to accept me."
This one-act play revolves around a young woman wandering through a near-lifeless forest she wants to escape. As she speculates directly to the audience about what brought her to this place, she reveals herself to be the stepmother to a pair of challenging children. The expectations of what she imagined her life to be and what she was saddled with collide as she recounts her story. Taking place in the woods in which she lost her way, details of her childhood, loveless marriage, and the desperate hunger that drove her to make the most important decision of her life become clear. Ultimately wrestling with questions of what it means to be a "chosen family," she attempts to set the record straight.
