Water by the Spoonful, a haunting and melodic Pulitzer Prize-winning play, shines a light on the power of human connection. Elliot, a wounded veteran, returns home to Philadelphia, facing PTSD and a devastating loss. As he and his cousin Yaz grapple with grief, Elliot's estranged biological mother, Odessa, finds strength and solace moderating an online support group for addicts in recovery, who find kinship and hope in their unlikely bonds. This gripping play explores how we can heal, and inspire each other to survive and strive for a better life, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
