Project Title The Sisters Sweetwater

Description:

How do we transcend the pain of horrendous circumstance? It's 1928 and the heart-stung, yet joyful power of the blues tints this stark drama with pure life. It is the epic story of two sisters: Chelsea, the wild child and Oleta, the church girl; born in a bordello in Silverton, Colorado. Desperately, they seek to exact their future; to force happiness to be. Thus, it eludes them, haunts them, and tantalizes them in decisions rooted in alleviating pain. Sometimes we can lead life, but sometimes we must just follow.

The original play was a 2002 finalist for The Playwrights' Center Emerging Writers Jerome Fellowship.
