LIVING OUT is a unique play telling the story of a complex relationship between a Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for. Both women are smart, hard-working mothers. Both want better lives for their children. This play explores the shared humanity between them and the differences wrought by race, class, and status. Through Ana (the nanny), we understand what it means to have one child in another country and struggle to support another child while caring for someone else's child. Through Nancy (the lawyer), we understand the pressure on women today who face the challenge of battling the cost of fulfilling both personal and professional goals.
