Description
NANA AND PAIGE – POIGNANT COMEDY ABOUT ESCAPING COVID LOCKDOWN!
Nana and Paige is set in May through August of 2020. A year of profound loss, change, and uncertainty and lockdown. Nana is in her late 60s, and is going CRAZY as her daughter, Melissa, will not let her leave the house. Not even to buy groceries. Sweet, clever and cooped up Paige, 17, is Nana’s granddaughter. Paige hates distance learning and missing out on all her senior year high school activities. The two hatch a plan to get together… but even the road to trouble is paved with good intentions. And they find themselves in A LOT of trouble including getting caught up in a Black Lives Matter March! This short play is heart-warming, family oriented, and gets to the heart of many difficulties faced by many in the pandemic. A poignant comedy about escaping covid lockdown!
