Characters: 5 femalesFrom the opening moments when Ivah cuts Violet's eye brows off, this story romps through the sibling antics and rivalry of a large family. The first act takes place as the young teenage girls are growing into lovely women.In a series of family stories, set in the 1920's, we enjoy the girls' hilarious pranks, antics, joys and humiliations. There is laughter in abundance. Tears, love, and sibling rivalry as these four delightful sisters grow up under the guidance of their matriarch, "Mama". A prestigious marriage, a female pro-basketball player, and a run away to Alaska, these young women couldn't be more diverse.Fast forward to the 1940's. In Act two, the sisters are adults, starting their own families and Pearl Harbor has just been attacked. This stage play is a rich tapestry of an American family. It has been likened to a cross between Little Women and I Remember Mama.
