In these powerful plays, Wood explores the complex bonds of family, the weight of secrets, and the transformative power of human connection. From a tense standoff between mill owners and workers during a bitter strike, to a skeptical professor's unexpected journey into the supernatural, to a family's comic deception of their miraculously recovered father, each play delves deep into the heart of human relationships.

These acclaimed works feature:

• Papermaker: A labor dispute becomes personal when a mill owner and his daughter confront the human cost of their decisions.
  
  “The mark of a good play is when a playwright creates the illusion of high dramatic complication by portraying credible characters who appear to be just sort of “normal.” These well-known elements of well-constructed drama are perfectly blended in this riveting production [of Papermaker].”

• The Half-Light: A rational college professor questions everything she believes about life and death after meeting an unusual psychic.
  
  “A poignant, delicate story with the occasional gently humorous dialogue, [The Half-Light] deals with such weighty subjects as loss, grief, love, and addiction, as well as life and death.

• Saint Dad: Three siblings navigate love, guilt, and family bonds as they try to protect their father from a difficult truth.
  
  “A warm, witty, insightful play about the intersection of people from two very different worlds brought together by the sale of a family camp. When the company speaks of a miracle in the closing moments of the show, one cannot help but feel that that miracle has already transpired over the course of the play’s afternoon and evening. [Monica Wood’s] plays are gifts to Maine’s contributions to American theatre.
