About the Show

American Renaissance Theater Company presents this new, intense drama, where a mother has only 12 visits to convince her hostile daughter to leave the church she loves for the mother who left her behind.

Meg and Jack were childhood sweethearts who got married. When their daughter, Hannah, was born, Meg stayed home with her, and Jack worked. They were happy. Then their church hired a new pastor. Flash forward: Meg is fighting for custody of Hannah, now 16, who wants nothing to do with her, and they are about to see each other for the first time in two years. How did it get to this?

Critic Reviews (1)

"The 2018 Jerry Kaufman Award winner "To She Who Waits" by Bob Clyman. The subtitle "God's Plan v. A Mother's Love; Winner Takes All" provides a clue to the plot…The three leading characters are written with nuance and depth not often seen in works addressing religious cults…My interest never lagged, the narrative was compelling and the portrayals were sensitively handled. This is a work worth seeing and watching where it goes next. It runs through June 8, 2019."
