The Mighty Maisie

Something strange is happening to Maisie Clark—but instead of being afraid, she’s using her new power to protect close friends from their abusive partners. When a young woman named Penny stumbles onto Maisie’s porch after a difficult night at a local bar, Maisie’s powers not only come in handy to help, but also set off a chain reaction of events that will forever alter Maisie’s life, and the lives of her closest friends.

    Maisie is a great character. Smart. Fiercely protective of friends (old and new) and her pristine spot in the trailer park. And now she has unearthly powers. Poynton's script digs in with clever dialogue and stage directions that invite stunning designs. It all builds up to a spectacular ending.
