STEW
Mama’s up early to prepare the perfect stew for a vital community meal. As the day rolls on, tempers go from a simmer to a boil, and secrets rise to the surface for three generations of Tucker women. When the violence hovering around the periphery of their lives begins to intrude upon the sanctity of the kitchen, mothers, and daughters, wrestle with loss and hope in this hilarious, haunting drama.
