A play by Rebecca Gilman

(I'm making my Renaissance debut playing Pastor Jay)

When Caroline, a veteran social worker, removes infant Luna Gale from the custody of her struggling young parents, the best course of action seems clear and Baby Luna is placed temporarily with her devoted grandmother.  However Caroline quickly realizes that the situation is more complicated as she uncovers a shadowy and secretive family past.  Struggling with the limitations of an overburdened bureaucracy, Caroline is forced to make a risky decision with potentially dangerous consequences.

LUNA GALE explores the tough situations welfare workers must contend with daily to ensure the well-being of children and their families.
