Luna Gale

Stages Repertory Theatre
3201 Allen Parkway Houston

The sharp-eyed contemporary drama Luna Gale focuses on Caroline, a social worker who must decide whether a hospitalized child should be given back to her recovering teenage meth addicts parents or the infant's grandmother, a religious evangelist. Caught in the middle of a much larger fight, her decisions about the child's welfare dredge up a secretive past and further ignite the conflict. The Chicago Tribune hailed the play as "excellent and intensely involving," and the Sun-Times agreed, calling it "provocative and impassioned."
