SUCCULENTS: THE ART OF ADULTING BY LEAH ROTH BARSANTI DIRECTED BY MAARI SUORSA ALL SHOWS 7:30 PM AT QUEENSTREET PLAYHOUSE FEBRUARY 3, 4, & 5  Daphne's roommates are probably going to change the world. Ryn's a surgeon: she saves lives. Massie volunteers overseas in global crisis zones: she also saves lives. And Daphne... Daphne tried to bake cookies the other day. It didn't go well. In fact, nothing that Daphne has tried has EVER gone well. That is... until she buys her first succulent and realizes that plants just might be "her thing." What starts as a hobby for Daphne soon becomes an obsession, maybe even her small way of doing something positive for the world? Succulents is a modern myth about eco-warriors and indoor gardening asks whether it's possible to find a passion without letting it consume you.
