According to the show’s press release, “Joy in the Morning” is a powerful, heartwarming play of tears and laughter examines how oftentimes it is the greatest casualties of our lives that help us see who we really are, strengthen our faith, and truly understand our loves. It’s a tale of coping with loss, of regaining our lust for life, of reconnection with lost dreams, and finding the true meaning of time and eternity. And how it never hurts to have a few angels on your side …
A beautiful, once vibrant, but now heartbroken woman, who gave up her dreams to follow her husband’s, finds herself deeply lost after his sudden death. She finds solace in her weekly session in therapy with a kind and compassionate doctor. In his presence, the process of healing takes on a spiritual dimension, as the grieving young widow reclaims her faith in God with his help … and that of the heavenly hosts of which she is not aware. As their relationship strengthens, we learn the doctor has troubles of his own and may need the patient as much as she needs him … can this band of angels ensure that he remains ‘the good doctor’? This funny, heartwarming and yet deeply provocative story, packed with original music, has proven to be a gift to actors and audiences alike.
The show is written by Ruth and Robin Givens with musical direction is by Sean Smith. Ms. Givens also serves as the show’s director.
