Water By The Spoonful

“Rise and shine kiddos, the rooster’s a-crowin’, it’s a beautiful day to be sober.”

Elliot Ortiz is a Marine veteran returned from Iraq, and living back home in North Philly. Still haunted by the war, he navigates the dissonance of his family relationships while in the midst of the loss of a loved one. Meanwhile, a Cyber Community of recovering addicts connects over their own journeys toward personal redemption. When the two worlds collide, Elliot faces his greatest challenge – how to break from the past and move into a new future. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Alegria Hudes (book writer of hit musical In the Heights) is a captivating story about family, freedom, and self-acceptance that highlights that we all have far more in common than we realize.
