Relative Theatrics Playwrights Voiced presents a staged reading of WANDA, DAISY AND THE GREAT RAPTURE by Alexis Schaetzle

Additional Information

Relative Theatrics presents a reading of WANDA, DAISY AND THE GREAT RAPTURE by Alexis Schaetzle and directed by Anne Mason as part of the PLAYWRIGHTS VOICED series. Supported in part by grant funding from the Wyoming Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The moon hangs low over a trailer park in Pawley Island, South Carolina when Daisy unexpectedly returns home from a youth reformatory program. Step-sister Wanda reluctantly houses Daisy as she splits her time taking care of dementia-ridden Bud, making ends meet at the local Piggly-Wiggly, and volunteering at the local church. While Bud is sure that his late wife was taken from him in the rapture, Wanda and Daisy explore sisterhood, spirituality, and the possibilities of life beyond the swamplands.
