<b><i>Synopsis:<br>
</i></b></span><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>An elderly mother asks her
grown daughter to edit her newly written autobiography. The daughter responds
by attempting to edit her mother’s life. The granddaughter, a playwright,
has her own take on the family history that has already found its way to the
stage. Over the course of a weekend, the three women discover the truth about
memory: it is not only imperfect, it also hangs on by a thread.<br>

</span><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>Playwrights’ GYM<br>
</span></b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
Playwrights’ GYM is a new Dobama program that allows local area playwrights
the opportunity to workshop new plays. The GYM will also afford new
directors the opportunity to work with experienced directors and to direct
scenes versus the burden of a full-length production. The GYM’s goal is
to help playwrights through to the end of his/her process with an eye on
uncovering new plays to be performed at Dobama.<br>
