Cat Feet

Synopsis:
Here's how Northlight describes the work: "Your mother is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, your sister is flaking out at a spiritual retreat, and your high school boyfriend drops by just to say hi. This is why Julia Elliot moved 3,000 miles away in the first place. Suddenly called home, Julia is forced to confront a difficult truth about her mother, who faces the inevitable process of aging and dependency. With humor and strength, Julia struggles to repair the fragile tissue that binds her family together in this heartfelt world premiere." - See more at: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/northlights-cat-feet-chronicles-a-family-headed-by-a-poet-casting-for-world-121427#sthash.dNQ77qbT.dpuf
