Played to standing room only audiences in San Antonio, "In Our Own Words" brings to life the pages of a slice of American History through recordings of the pioneers of the twelve step recovery movement.

Simply, with humor and depth, the play retells the stories of this Fellowship through its founders in New York, Akron and Cleveland. Going further, "In Our Own Words" also shares the lesser-known struggles of the pioneering members of special composition groups, including the first women and young people, as well as early gay and African-American members. Join men and women like Marty Mann, Sybil Corwin, Barry Leach, Joe McQuany (and many more) on their search for a solution and a place to belong. Their stories, and this play, are not to be missed.

"A satisfying and effective dramatic presentation ... The best play I have seen about early American history!" -- Glenn C., author of The Factory Owner and the Convict.

With new productions underway in California, New York, Mexico and Sweden, this event is a fundraiser for young people in twelve step recovery  featuring the original cast under the direction of the author herself.
