Check Please, by Carol Croland
After her mother’s live-in caregiver leaves abruptly, Risa leaves her job and friends in Chicago– temporarily — to care for her mother in South Florida. She brings her mother, Bess, to a diner in Boca to share an Early Bird Dinner with her older brother, Jay — with the plan of convincing him to let their mother move into his McMansion in Boca with his family. Current and “ancient” sibling tensions erupt — along with the humor that is also injected into the heated dinner conversation between brother, sister, and mother – while they discuss who and how their mother will be cared for in her fragile, but stubborn and lively state…

Sugar Dust, by Charles Rix
Martha, a proper matriarch, her son, and her flamboyant cousin “Sugar Dust” meet at a motel in Beeville, TX the morning of their Aunt Lily’s 102nd Birthday-Valentine party. In discussing preparations for the party, they come to grips with unresolved family tension that may explode in the ritual “Guess Who?” family costume game. As they try on various costumes, personalities from the past come to life to help Martha and Sugar Dust understand how much they have always loved and supported each other.
