Rock of Ages, a Play in Two Acts

Takes place in the early 1990’s, on a church patio, in the small "Bible Belt" community of Bloomfield, Missouri where Dena, a young, smart-mouthed, "Grunge" attired, unwed mother-to-be, who is faced with the decision whether to keep her child or give it up for adoption. Dena is confronted by Flora, a middle-aged, strict, fundamentalist Christian, school teacher, who is highly respected in the community. At a deeper level, this dramatic piece judges abuse at every level; it is during the climax that we realize the truth behind the cliché: "You can't judge a book by its cover." There, we are left with a ray of hope that through an individual's conscious choice, the abusive cycle can be stopped.
