Eleemosynary Directed by Paula Mabry Eleemosynary focuses on the lives of three Wesbrook women: seventy-five-year-old Dorothea, played by Williams; her middle-aged daughter, Artie, played by Belant; and Artie's sixteen-year-old daughter, Echo, played by Bennett. Dorothea, an admitted New Age eccentric, has complicated the lives of the two other Wesbrook women by imposing her thwarted dreams on them, which has alienated Artie not only from Dorothea but from Echo as well. As the play begins, Echo is caring for Dorothea, who has just had a stroke. During the course of the play, Echo tries to bring the three women together. Blessing presents fragmented vignettes of the lives of the three women as they struggle to define themselves both as individuals and as part of a family unit. In this poignant and mature study of familial relationships, Blessing highlights the human need for connection and forgiveness. SCT won numerous awards for this production. Read more here.
