THE PARENT PROJECT
Fall 2007
Both moms and dads came to the stage in "The Parent Project" to share the tears and laughter of raising children.
We heard about the struggles and rewards of adoption from Bob and Bess, and we cried with Doris as she told us about her son's death in the Iraq war. Kimberly let us in on the challenges of being a single parent, while Chris and Gretchen shared the surprises of raising a son with Down Syndrome.
The dancers also interjected stories about their parents' disciplinary efforts (from the child's point of view). Mom: "You're in time out!" Child: "Fine. I'll just pee in the closet!"
