NHP alum Eliana Pipes’ new play Disaster Preparedness will receive a reading in Two River Theater’s annual Crossing Borders (Cruzando Fronteras) Festival.

Mitigation. Preparedness. Response. Recovery. Mama and Honey like to be ready for anything. When Mama comes face to face with the Ghost of her own mother and Honey begins to think about moving on, the two women start to question their strategies. Exploring motherhood and caretaking, the third play in Pipes’ New America Cycle reminds us that there are some disasters we’ll never see coming.
