This powerful, award-winning piece will change forever what you think when you drive by a roadside memorial. In Memory Garden, a young widow with two young daughters devotes herself to maintaining the roadside memorial for her husband who died in a tragic hit-and-run car accident. Angie has become such a familiar figure at the site that neighbors beep their horns and wave hello as they pass. When a man claiming to be a reporter stops to get her story, Angie unexpectedly finds the answers to her own questions about what happened on that terrible day. With incredible character arcs for both actors, this ideal contest piece examines how we deal with the anger, longing and confusion brought about by loss — and the ways in which we try to both hang on to and let go of the past in order to keep living. Memory Garden won the Arts and Letters Prize in Drama from Georgia College and State University, selected by renowned playwright and author Gary Garrison.
