KARA & EMMA & BARBARA & MIRANDA
Full-length, Comedy
4 W, 1 M
A play that intertwines the lives of four women from different generations and social strata in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Kara wakes up to find her husband and children missing. Twenty-year-old Emma runs away with a married man. Barbara’s ex-lover breaks into her home in the middle of the night. And the pipes in Miranda’s house burst.
Through a tapestry of internal monologues and scenes, KARA & EMMA & BARBARA & MIRANDA follows the journey of four women whose major life crises collide on Christmas Eve, leading them to accidentally help each other find a way out. An occasionally off-kilter, and deeply honest play about isolation, resilience, and the healing power of community.
