Water by the Spoonful is a poignant and lyrical exploration of family, forgiveness, and the search for human connection in the digital age. Set in Philadelphia in 2009 and spanning multiple virtual and physical spaces, the play follows Elliot Ortiz, an Iraq War veteran struggling to find purpose after returning home. Haunted by trauma and the loss of his mother, he drifts between jobs while wrestling with the ghosts of his past.

Meanwhile, a small group of recovering addicts gather regularly in an online chat room to share hope, relapses, and small victories. Among them are “Haikumom,” a tough-love moderator who hides her complex past, and the newcomer “Fountainhead,” who’s desperate for reconnection and reinvention. Chat room regulars “Orangutan” and “ChutesandLadders” round out the group with humor and levity.

As Elliot’s world collides with that of the online support group, the boundaries between the virtual and the real, the past and the present, and love and resentment blur. With humor, heartbreak, and empathy, Water by the Spoonful asks: What does healing look like? And who gets to decide when we’re truly whole?
