A Full Length Play

Gabby grew up with her mom, her stepdad, and her stepbrothers in Colorado Springs. When she moves to New York, her family becomes religious, and eventually abusive to her mother. She moves her mom out. Her stepbrothers stop talking to her. Her stepfather dies. Years go by, she becomes engaged to a woman, and one day she receives an invitation to her younger stepbrother’s wedding.

​

She must decide whether or not to face her old life, and confront what she's been
missing...needless to say, she goes.

​

This play is about Christianity in Colorado Springs, family, losing one's family, and faith.
