WATER BY THE SPOONFUL

About the show

A janitor. A software mogul. A college grad. An IRS paper-pusher. Although they live thousands of miles apart, these four people share a secret: They’re recovering addicts who’ve found a safe haven in an online chat room. There, with liberal doses of jokes and bullying, they help each other navigate the broken terrain of their lives. But when an Iraq War vet’s tragedy spills over into their cyberhome, everything changes. In OSF's 2014 production of this fearless, groundbreaking play that won the Pulitzer Prize for Quiara Alegría Hudes (In the Heights, The Happiest Song Plays Last), worlds virtual and real unfold, challenging our notions of family, forgiveness, community, and courage.
