The Intentional
Theatre
First Annual International Short Play Festival -
2006
"A
Moment Of Love", by La'Chris Jordan of New York, searches
for that elusive moment between a mother and daughter who are torn apart
by the past, as they struggle toward the future. But there are two
sides to every story - or argument - and you need to be willing to listen
with your heart as well as your ears.

About the Play
Samantha (Linda MacCluggage, left) and Lynn (Jean DeGrooth, right) find that being daughter and mother doesn't automatically mean love conquers all. It takes something more, something that makes you look beyond yourself and into the soul of others.
