Just A Little Sunshine (The Light)

By Ms. Latrina R. Graves McCarty M.Ed.

Summary: Twenty years ago the Simmons family moved into a 1200 square foot "starter" home, as her late husband described it. However, after the birth of their second child, Gabriella, the family learned that Edward Simmons had a progressive sickness. The Simmons family was upper-middle class, but all their dreams were shattered when the progression of this sickness left Mr. Simmons disabled. Victoria Simmons was the nurse, mom, and rock of the family. The family lived solely on Mr. Simmons's disability resources, but family income was too excessive for federal assistance. Consequently, the family struggled to make ends meet. Theme: Just A Little Sunshine is an impressionistic play because it focuses on the memory of the wishes of their late patriarch, Edward Simmons. The play also addresses the naivety of their adult children, and how the matriarch determined the final wishes of each daughter. Mrs. Victoria Simmons began the play as the head of the family and ended with the same tenacity. The insurance money represents Just a Little Sunshine to assist each family member with a new start of their own lives.
