Drama Works Theatre Co. presents: Independence by Lee Blessing. Directed by Ed Wilhelms. A powerful dramedy, Independence is the story of a family divided against itself. The setting is the small town of Independence, Iowa, the lifelong home of Evelyn Briggs. Her oldest daughter, Kess, is a university professor in Minneapolis. She has come home at the request of her sister, Jo, who is concerned for Evelyn's mental health. Kess, a professed lesbian, wants to cut her family ties once and for all; Jo, an incurable romantic and longtime virgin, has now become pregnant; while Sherry, salty-tongued and amoral, wants only to finish high school so she can leave home for good. In the end, they discover that each must find her own heaven – or hell – in her own way. April 28, 29 & May 5, 6 at 7:30 PM May 7 at 3:00 PM 323 Boston Post Road in Old Saybrook, CT For Tickets and info visit: dramaworkstheatre.org
