Snacked Up in Prayer

Jan. 31 - Feb. 01
Saturday-Sunday

Until the day she got ‘that’ fateful phone call, Dragonfly was living her best bohemian life in NYC. Now, after 20 years, the prodigal daughter is back in her childhood home in Texas. She negotiates the changes in her octogenarian mother’s memories and abilities while also dealing with her own change of life and change of circumstances. Helpful and harmful characters aid and assail her on her journey. As the baby of the family, she quickly learns to care for her mother and herself beyond everyone’s expectations, with the help of snacks and prayers along the way. 

The one-woman hour-long variety show highlights the multi-faceted challenges facing a family member as she cares for an elder in cognitive decline. Throughout Snacked Up In Prayer! Dragonfly uses multiple tasks and techniques to invite audiences to engage with this social issue that affects so many.
