A Club No Parent Wants to Join

    It's rare to hear stories from parents who are desperately trying to hang on to hope in the face of their children's addiction, but Middaugh dramatizes a support group for parents with realistic narratives filled with terror, despair and disbelief. Many of us have dealt with similar family stories, and they need to be told. This play would be a great service to parents who may not think it could ever happen to them.
