About the Play "Maxine"
Heart, Humor, and Humanity
Maxine, written by the esteemed playwright Jami Brandli, weaves heart, humor, and humanity into a complex tapestry of family dynamics. The story presents Maxine, a book smart teenager who deftly negotiates the difficult emotional terrain between her battle-scarred sister and their ailing grandmother.
A Journey Through Personal Struggles
The play poignantly touches on themes of love, loss, and identity as Maxine—who, with guidance from her fictional confidantes, Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw—tackles the adult world of dating and relationships on behalf of her sister.
Coming of Age Under Extraordinary Circumstances
Challenged by her grandmother's somber decision, Maxine confronts the essence of life and the weight of final goodbyes. Maxine is a story of maturing swiftly amidst unwavering familial love and the haunting shadows of warfare.
