    Eleven, by Rachael Carnes, is a touching play that delves into the heart of a mother-daughter relationship.

    Loved the lines: "I didn't take it. I borrowed it (Mom's eyeliner). Rachael does a great job of showing the tension between a mother and her 11-year-old daughter, trying to establish a balance between independence and preteenism. The last line summed it up: "Mom, what's for dinner?"

    Parenting is tough and, while technology has amplified things, the lesson in understanding and communication is one as old as time. Well done.
