SEA GLASS
Over the course of a fall semester in 1979, two young girls on the brink of adulthood, Imogen (14) and Anne (16) Kilcullen, are left alone in their Long Island home by their mother. Their father, an actor, is off in California. By themselves, they struggle with their relationships with God, money, and the boys who live next door.

A Note from the Playwright:
Sea Glass’ earliest iteration began in 2019 as a writing exercise in my senior year at NYU. It was just a 2 page script - which, overtime, became the opening scene. What started as two unnamed sisters fighting over a wad of cash became an exploration into generational curses, womanhood, faith, and forgiveness. In the same way glass in the ocean gets tossed around until it becomes something smooth and beautiful, so many women, too, are shaved down into something less jagged, less sharp, less messy, less aggressive. Sea Glass seeks to explore what it means to be lost, tumble, and come out changed.
