Pearls for Spurs, produced by Monk Parrots, is a new two-act dramedy by Gates Leonard about a dysfunctional family’s last day as a unit. In a desperate attempt to escape the memories of her late husband, a widow, Mississippi Biles (Missy), uproots her entire family—Carousel (16-year-old rebellious daughter), Kill (13-year-old introverted son questioning his sexual orientation), Spoon (10-year-old wild man) and Danny (39-year-old overzealous sister)—from Texas to an RV park in Florida where they grapple with grief, change and the complexities of love. Two native Floridians—Bean (Kill’s only friend) and Dude (Carousel’s older and questionable boyfriend)—round out the cast. Loved but neglected by Missy due to her grief and struggles with mental illness, the children are unhappy and borderline outlaws. Danny does her best to hold the family together, but the characters drift further apart as the story unfolds. Mixing dark humor and tragedy, the play examines the effects of unmanaged personal trauma, opening a discussion about mental health, family and resistance to change.
