Betsy Barnes, 45, a successful corporate executive, is concerned about her 17 year old son Josh. Josh is doing poorly in school and doesn’t show an interest in anything but graphic novels and video games. Betsy is concerned that he won’t be able to get into a good college, and will end up being “one of life’s losers” like his father. She decides that the only hope is getting him a spot on the high school basketball team. Betsy herself was a basketball star in college, and she sets out to mold the very-resistant Josh into a basketball player. But when illness strikes the family, Betsy learns that she might not be the one with all the answers after all. Part of the NJTA STAGES FESTIVAL
In association with Playwrights Theatre of NJ and the NJ Theatre Alliance, this series of stage readings of new plays highlights the New Jersey playwright and NJ regional theatres that are working with these playwrights to cultivate and support their product.
