People play many roles throughout life. Friend, parent, teacher, boss. Those roles can change in an instant. Old age is a time of life when a parent often starts acting more like a child — and their children, more like the parent. The result is sometimes drama, sometimes comedy, often both. Whippersnappers includes four plays that examine the changing dynamics of the parent-child relationships as parents age. The plays are: Gonna Rain Like Hell by Stan Matthews, Baggage by Donna Arasin, Flint and Stone by Michael Meyers, and Momma’s Back by Stan Matthews.

These pieces are among the most creative and daring new works by playwrights who participated in the Scenario workshop led by PDX Playwrights in collaboration with CoHo Productions.
