Play Details
Overview
Marla starts a punk band, and the garage becomes their CBGB’s, but like the legendary venue, her talented, sunglass-wearing bandmates (affectionately referred to as “The Model Rockets”) are dead (well, undead).
But their music isn’t just waking up the dead – it’s waking up Carol, and tonight is the night that she is ready to confront Marla (and The Model Rockets). Will mother and daughter reconcile? Or will the band have to break up and be reburied?
This play is included in the 8-play collection Playroom
