Eggs

People’s Light & Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Eggs, based on the novel by Jerry Spinelli. Mark Lutwak directs.

9-year-old David and 13-year-old Primrose are both pretty unhappy with life at home. David is sent to live with his grandmother after the death of his mother, and Primrose’s mom is a fortuneteller who barely notices when Primrose moves into the van parked outside their house. Their unlikely friendship includes midnight trashpicking and hanging out with Refrigerator John, the local refrigerator repairman. They set off on an unexpected journey that leads to self-discovery and new perspectives on friendship and family.
