Synopsis
It is a hot summer day in a small town. Two women are in a same sex marriage. RAVEN is an alcoholic, struggling with an abusive past. ROXY is married to Raven. The marriage is nearing it's finish line. Ultimatums need to be met.
ROSE is Roxy's Aunt. She lives with Roxy and Raven. She is in the stages of Alzheimer's. Her stay is seriously weighing on Raven and Roxy's relationship. Roxy is supporting an unemployed and alcoholic induced Raven. While Roxy is looking to get some solace, she suffers a nervous breakdown and must be admitted for medical evaluations and counseling. This leaves Raven and Rose to feud it out. Rose and Raven begin their familiar banter, clashing on every subject matter, especially religion. Raven drinks while Rose teeters in and out of lucidity,
Their neighbor, SUGI who was born and raised in Japan is convinced that he is Japanese, even though he is of Anglo Saxon decent. He is insistent on getting Rose out of this bad environment. Sugi has committed his love for
Rose and wants to marry her, leaving Raven alone. Rose reminds Raven; “It can be very lonely with one set of footsteps.”
After Rose moves in with Sugi, a very drunk and lonely Raven, plots a devious way to get Rose back into her life. Raven quotes Rose. “It’s part of the master plan.” She also needs to regain Roxy’s trust, so she can move back in.
Unbeknownst to Raven and Rose, they need each other.
Raven and Rose must confront the thief; Alcohol and Alzheimer’s. Raven realizes that it takes a whole lot of courage to stop drinking.
“Courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day, saying, I’ll try again, tomorrow.”
A poignant, serious and funny, story. There is humor in tragedy.

Phil S Addis

I got interested in theatre when I was thirteen and became hooked. While attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, I studied acting and direction. I worked Off Off Broadway. Because my body needed food to survive, I moved back to La Crosse, WI. I met my wife in college. We married two years later. I have been doing theatre as a hobby since I moved back from New York City. Between jobs, raising and supporting a family, I have found time to write. I thank my wife for allowing me to ignore her as I write. My first draft had a public reading in 1990 at The La Crosse Community Theatre. This helped me with direction. I got to video tape it and learned so much from doing that. Although a play may never be finished, I have found myself at rest with this script. I had to shelf it and just accept, that for now, the script is complete. I consider this work a success. I completed a full-length play. This script is really about how much we need God, family and faith in humanity. Phil Addis
