Prioritizing Process (links to article about the play)
A Sacred Exchange is an intimate, emotionally layered play that explores the joy and grief of open adoption through the lives of two couples bound by one child. Alex and Levi, young and unprepared for parenthood, choose adoption for their baby, while Hannah and Drew, a married couple longing for a child, see adoption as their last hope for becoming parents. As the pregnancy, placement, and early years unfold, the families attempt to navigate shared love, unclear boundaries, and competing claims to motherhood and fatherhood.
Told through interwoven scenes that mirror the intersections of their lives, the play examines what it means to make a family outside traditional definitions. A Sacred Exchange asks whether love is something divided—or something multiplied—and who gets to define parenthood when a child belongs, in different ways, to many.

Three young princesses, saddled with high expectations and too much work and responsibility, escape each night to a magical world where they can be and do anything their heart desires, even if that means becoming a cloud or having a unicorn as a best friend. But when their father starts to notice their exhaustion, he asks their best friend to spy on them. When the magical world is infiltrated by this stranger it begins to collapse and the girls are locked out of their special place. Desperate to get back, the girls must decide if they will stay in their magical world forever or if they can find acceptance for their true selves in the real world.
