Independence

Set in the small town of Independence, Iowa, the play centers on a strained reunion between a domineering mother and her three adult daughters. Each daughter struggles with personal conflicts—ranging from independence and identity to relationships and responsibility—while confronting the scars left by their mother’s controlling nature. As long-buried resentments surface, the women wrestle with loyalty, anger, and the possibility of breaking free from destructive family patterns. The result is a powerful exploration of love, dysfunction, and the difficult ties that bind families together.
