Bloom is a beautiful coming of age story of Lily, a young person with a disability in the 1960s through the 1990s. The play follows along as the country and her identity grow. Bloom highlights the complicated and painful history of division in the United States and well as the powerful movements that set the ground work for change and inclusion. Each generation must build off the strides made by those that came before, as well as create a voice and an agenda that is uniquely of their time. This country’s history has a strong foundation of rebellion and Bloom takes a look into the everyday rebellions that individuals take when they recognize that change is needed.
