That Water Moment by Sara Jean Accuardi

A 10-minute play about parenting and struggling with the unknown.

"Most touching was Sara Jean Accuardi’s “That Water Moment,” which hinged on the balance of frustration and faith in the lives of young parents (played by Kerry Ryan and Isaac Lamb) struggling with the care of a developmentally disabled child." - Marty Hughley, The Oregonian

    “ What a sad, moving play. The despair experienced by two parents of a developmentally challenged child - with little hope for change - is palpable, poignant, and heart-rending. A wonderful bit of writing. ”
