Family Snaps

In the course of this musical the audience is quickly caught up in the crosscurrents of the Bailey family.  Family Snaps is a poignant dramatic comedy about family relationships and friends, with a depth of focus that touches the many facets of being a family in the 21st century.  One thread of the script involves the soon-to-be-married (then, newly married) son and his fiancé; another looks at being married and being parents; a third deals with the passage into adolescence.  All are woven together around the renovation of a newly purchased mountain cabin.  But when jealousy and suspicion begin to fill the house, the results are realistic and thoughtful.  The fundamental wisdom of the play is carried through an eccentric yet charming elderly woman, Aunt Matty, who lives in the small town near the cabin.  There are no cheap laughs in this script.  The humor is natural and the situations come from real life.
