No White Picket Fence. Robin C. Whittaker

      In creating No White Picket Fence, we have all sought to move toward a better world for youth in/from care by bringing their stories – in their own words – into public view.

A NOTE ON THE VERBATIM DIALOGUE

      The play’s dialogue is taken verbatim from interview transcripts. All of the participants’ “word stumbles” (e.g., “ums” and incomplete sentences) were preserved in the premiere’s production script, although some have been corrected in this published version for readability.

      Square brackets indicate places where words from the original interviews have been removed, either to more clearly bridge thoughts or to protect the participants’ anonymity.
