From behind their screens\, these individuals who might never encounter each other in real life — a student\, an IRS-pusher\, and a financier– forge a bond as strong as blood. Off the computer\, however\, in a Puerto Rican neighborhood in North Philly\, Odessa Ortiz’s real-life family is falling apart. Her nephew\, Elliot\, has returned from Iraq both physically and emotionally broken. Her niece\, Yaz\, is unable to reconcile her identity as a North Philly girl from the barrio with her upper-crust\, intellectual lifestyle. Her sister\, who was the mother that Odessa could never be\, is dying of cancer. Inventive and timely\, Quiara Alegria Hudes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Water By The Spoonful is a powerful\, compassionate look at the meaning of family\, and the burdens we must carry to protect it. \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nODESSA ORTIZ (aka Haikumom) (F\, 39) Elliot’s biological mother and Yazmin’s aunt.  Founder of an online chat room for recovering addicts\, and a part-time janitor.  Lives one notch above squalor.  From Puerto Rican Family\, lives in Philadelphia. \nELLIOT ORTIZ (M\, 24) An Iraq War veteran with a slight limp.
