Can a hot young designer take on the green-washing of a conglomerate? Can a high schooler take on the narrow-mindedness of a school board trying to ban books? 2 daughters struggle to find their way in a world filled with both idealism and cynicism. How will their mom create her own new story as she faces the joys and challenges of an empty nest? This coming-of-age tale features a family of 3 women at different ages and stages of their lives as they discover the forces of nature they are destined to be.

Sharen Camille is thrilled to be bringing her first original musical to life with Bethesda Little Theatre! She has directed dozens of musicals from The Lion King, Matilda, The Secret Garden, The Music Man, Seussical, Guys and Dolls and many others. Recently, she traveled the national film festival circuit with her award-winning documentary short film, Alice in Covidland, about a Baltimore-based ballet company and how it navigated the challenges of the Covid-19 Epidemic. Before directing, Sharen had a long and successful career as a performer and is perhaps best known for performing as Maria in West Side Story, in over 400 performances in the National and European Tours, and her Off-Broadway turn in NY in The Fantasticks as The Girl. Her triple-threat versatility led to numerous performances in Opera, Musical Theatre, Film and TV, and can be heard on Angels We Have Heard On High, her solo collection of Christmas Classics. She is a proud graduate of the Musical Theatre program from the University of Michigan and a member of the actor's unions SAG/AFTRA and AEA. She is the Artistic Director of Footlight Players in Indiana, PA and the founder of the Opera Vocal Competition: The Camille Coloratura Awards and host of the podcast Six Degrees of Broadway. www.SharenCamille.com
