World premiere of Elizabeth’s Bo-Nita in Seattle. Life’s not easy for 13-year-old Bo-Nita. A theatrical coming-of-age tale that is both hilarious and heartbreaking, Bo-Nita follows the resourceful exploits of a working class mother-daughter duo determined to stay together—and out of jail. Bo-Nita is a favorite from last summer’s JAW playwrights’ festival in Portland, Oregon.  Bo-Nita will premiere in Portland, Oregon at the Ellyn Bye Studio of Portland Center Stage,  Feb. 1 – March 16, 2014. The Oregonian says of Bo-Nita: “… this madcap comedy of mid-American family dysfunction carries dark undertones about the effects of poverty and sexual abuse on a resourceful 13-year-old.  Bo-Nita handles such issues with sensitivity — even amid the outlandish characters and situations that had the JAW audience howling with laughter.
