The world premiere at Carroll College, in Helena, MT, Dec 2022
Chloe Jones and Griffin Cox, directed by Aileen Jones.

A friend of mine was desperately looking for a scene for two women in a quarterstaff stage combat class, and tired of the "Robin Hood and Little John" scenes out there. I started from the premise that I wanted it to be a quarterstaff fight, but keep it grounded and modern.
This was what emerged - a fun and funny piece, much of which is told in action - of two over-zealous stage moms clashing when they share stage-sweeping duties before their kids' dance recital!
