JWalk Productions NYC announces the world premiere of Steps To Home, a drama by Hope Villaneuva navigating the dynamics of female relationships in a turbulent world. This piece exemplifies the bonding effects of hardships and the essentiality of friendship.
Finding herself suddenly sick, 40-something Kelly asks Samantha to move into her house, but this is just the beginning... or the end. Told in reverse chronology, Steps To Home tells the story of Kelly and Samantha's decades old friendship and - despite obstacles and relationships - how two people so vastly different could come to be the most important person in each other's lives.
This play, written in the context of the #MeToo movement, spans four decades and focuses on a point that is made peripheral in most mainstream media, female friendship. Playwright, Hope Villenuava, explains, "women have been pitted against each other in a societal Battle Royale over status and men. As time passed, these battles began to include money, jobs, and an internet war over the "right" way to be a parent. It's only in recent years that women have worked toward bucking that piece of the patriarchy and unifying with other women... Now the question is how can women uplift each other and how do we teach young women not to see each other as competition?"
