Genre: Drama Characters: 2 males, 1 female Scenery: Bare Stage On board the SS Graigaur a young sailor begins to pen his first novel. Assisted by his muse, a portrait of his mother comes to life, and supported by his friend, an illiterate ship's mechanic, he struggles to balance romance and reality. This most personal of Athol Fugard's works is strictly autobiographical; at twenty he abandoned his university education, hitch hiked up Africa and ended up on a tramp steamer in Port Sudan. This play refl ects his attempts to come to terms with the conflicting emotions evoked by memories of his courageous mother and flawed father. "Charming... Admire The Captain's Tiger and the lovely way in which it is told." - The New York Daily News

In this “thought-provoking blend of history, biography, women’s studies, and travelogue” (Library Journal) Mia Kankimäki recounts her enchanting travels in Japan, Kenya, and Italy while retracing the steps of ten remarkable female pioneers from history. What can a forty-something childless woman do? Bored with her life and feeling stuck, Mia Kankimäki leaves her job, sells her apartment, and decides to travel the world, following the paths of the female explorers and artists from history who have long inspired her. She flies to Tanzania and then to Kenya to see where Karen Blixen—of Out of Africa fame—lived in the 1920s. In Japan, Mia attempts to cure her depression while researching Yayoi Kusama, the contemporary artist who has voluntarily lived in a psychiatric hospital for decades. In Italy, Mia spends her days looking for the works of forgotten Renaissance women painters of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and finally finds her heroines in the portraits of Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Atremisia Gentileschi. If these women could make it in the world hundreds of years ago, why can’t Mia? The Women I Think About at Night is “an astute, entertaining…[and] insightful” (Publishers Weekly) exploration of the lost women adventurers of history who defied expectations in order to see—and change—the world.

This is the true story about Hannah, a happy and imaginative little girl growing up in rural Kenya. But suddenly Hannah and her little sister are left all alone with the death of their parents and are faced with a desperate-looking future. They find temporary refuge and hope for a better life with her grandparents. But that hope fades when they are not able to support the young girls. Then, in the midst of what seems like a hopeless future, hope again returns when Hannah and her sister meet a man named Daddy Mulli, and a woman named Mommy Esther. Both girls are rescued by Mully Children’s Family where Hannah discovers a new world of opportunity. From living destitute on the street she is given a safe dormitory to sleep in, schooling to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor, food and medical care, and a wonderful family of over 500 brothers and sisters. For the first time she realizes she could be set free from her past. From her pain. From her prison. From the person she thought she was destined to remain. In pursuing her dreams, Hannah learns the importance of friendships, the joy of serving others, and she discovers how her faith in Christ can sustain her in the challenges of life to become who she is designed to be. Daddy and Mommy Mulli give Hannah the parental love she has been searching for, but most of all, she learns that life is about being in a relationship with God. This is her dramatic and adventurous life journey
