April Rain - A Monologue
On a quiet April afternoon, an eleven-year-old girl watches a spring rainstorm from the safety of her bedroom. Caught in the "in-between" space of no longer being a child but not yet a grown-up, she weighs the comfort of her cozy room against the "braver" world waiting outside. Through the rhythm of the rain, she finds a soft acceptance of her own messy process of growing up.
