Spit Like a Big Girl
Clarinda Ross, a multiple award-winning actress, wrote and stars in this funny, poignant and highly personal family memoir. Inspired by the discovery of her father's journal's after his untimely death, Ross takes us on a humorous journey through the back roads of her Southern childhood. She examines the colorful personalities of her college professor parents, and the many people she meets on her way to adulthood. Her parents and grandparents give her an appreciation for the simple things in life. Most importantly, the play expresses how well her parents' lessons have served her as the mother of a disabled child. In Spit Like a Big Girl, Ross becomes a "big girl," a Southern Mama big enough to allow her own special daughter to leave home and become a big girl in her own right.
