A college dropout who volunteers for Shelley. <br><br>OSCAR - The handsome Latino janitor of the soup kitchen.<br><br>FROG - One of the homeless patrons. <br><br>STORY - Having dedicated her life to religious service, Shelley runs a Bronx soup kitchen with unsentimental efficiency, but lately her heart’s not quite in it. Her brisk nature masks an unsettling fear that her efforts are meaningless. When Emma — an idealistic but confused college dropout — arrives to volunteer, her reckless mix of generosity and self-involvement pushes Shelley to the breaking point. With keen humor and startling compassion, Heidi Schreck’s play navigates the mystery of faith, the limits of forgiveness, and the pursuit of something resembling joy. <br><br><span style="font-family:inherit;">Please contact Patrick White with questions or requests for audition sides or copies of the script, white.patrick1963@gmail.co</span><span class="word_break" style="font-family:inherit;"></span>m.<br></span></div></body></html>
