Dayton Theatre Guild

Dayton

Directed by Debra Kent
Produced by K. L. Storer

Cast: Kayla Graham as Karlie, Andrew Poplin as Peter, Cheryl Mellen as Caroline, Cassandra Engber as Cindy, Heather Atkinson as Lourdes, Tim Moore as Cliff & John-Michael Lander as Pastor Jay

A veteran social worker believes she has a typical case on her hands when she meets two teenaged drug addicts accused of neglecting their baby daughter. She places the six-month-old baby in the care of her maternal grandmother, who requests permanent adoption. Is it better for the child to be reared by a rabidly evangelical grandmother or eventually to be reunited with the rehabilitated parents? This very contemporary play is about moral dilemma, faith and forgiveness.
