About the Show:
Mama is up early to prepare an important meal and, even with her family on hand to help, time is running short. Tensions simmer with three generations of Tucker women under one roof, but things come to a boil as the violence hovering around the periphery of their lives begins to intrude upon the sanctity of Mama’s kitchen.

A Note on Intimacy
Lost Girl includes moments of intimacy as part of its storytelling. Rebel Phoenix Theatre Collective is committed to creating a safe, professional, and respectful rehearsal room.
Examples of intimacy in the production include:
Wendy and the Boy: may kiss and lie on a bed together (no nudity), with gentle holding or caressing.
Wendy and Peter: share a simple, sweet kiss.
Wendy and Slightly: share a longer, more involved and passionate kiss.
Three of the Lost Boys: briefly demonstrate a kiss.
Important:
All intimate moments will be fully choreographed by an Intimacy Coordinator, who will be present in rehearsals and performances where intimacy is involved.
Actor boundaries are central. All work will be done with active involvement, open communication, and clear consent from the actors at every stage of the process.
