JOAN OSBORNE DIMITRIOU’S JAZZ ALLEY April 18 – 21 A list of women who rock would most definitely have to include Joan Osborne.

intelligent teens who are smart but not outrageous and who are somehow able to fall back on unknown resources when abandoned by their father after their mother’s untimely death. Edith (Sara L. Porkalob) is a 12-yearold who uses her stuffed frog and a BB gun to feel safe when older brother Kenny (Jose Abaoag) isn’t home. Kenny, who is 16, can drive and doesn’t like to stay at home, so in some senses Edith is abandoned by everyone. As we learn about the circumstances that surround them, we see edith page 30
