| Synopsis: | weaves various storylines together in a funny tapestry of life, or more precisely, Angelas life, with ruminations about motherhood, mothering, and nurturing, even panda style. Angela is a studious and serious animal scientist preparing to give her first important presentation and is coached to get it just right. Only later do we learn that all her meticulous preparation was to address middle-school kids prone to asking off the chart questions about the teacher instead of the animals. It is while being subjected to a barrage of unexpected, adolescent questions that Angela reveals her travel plans to visit China, the land of her heritage. Although hints popped up in early scenes about her having been adopted, finally getting her to admit plans to travel and find her birth-mother was an intriguing revelation that helped spin the tale into even more fascinating territory, especially with the various scenes involving Angelas interactions with her devoted and patient adoptive mom. - Debbie Jackson, dctheatrescene | |||||
