Christmas Break

by Monica Bauer

 

Lilly comes home for Christmas break from her freshman year at college, "woke" to the issue of world hunger. A daughter's Christmas hunger strike, a Dad who refuses to let anything spoil his Christmas, a Mom struggling with hot flashes, a son trying to come out of a closet he was never in, a monk about to become homeless, and the fate of a golden retriever makes a comic play about liberal guilt for our times.
