Family Fixin's

Recommended by

  • Mollie Gordon: Family Fixin's

    What a joy to read this play! Family Fixin's is a vivid and deeply moving look at family, healing, and the power of recipes. Sousa's characters are rich, thorny, and full of heart. The play comes to life in sounds and smells, and affords an artistic team so many details to dive into when staging it.
