Will her family be proud of her?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This Award-Winning play was inspired by the true story of a teen athlete who was bullied and then achieved international acclaim. When Robin joins a water-polo club, she\u2019s unprepared for the hostility she encounters. But with determination plus rigorous training, and an encouraging coach &#8212; who calls her a &#8216;natural&#8217; &#8212;\u00a0 she becomes a skilled goalie, confronts a vicious teammate, finds friendship, and ultimately self-acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: Artwork by Katie Leonard, property of Clark&#8217;s Summit University &#8212; Used by permission<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>PLAY DETAILS:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>6f, 1m,<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 80px;\"><b>FRANCINE<\/b> \u2014 Robin\u2019s mother.
