The Judge and His Daughter by Ruth Apolonia Zamoyta — A Free Staged Reading
A fictional conservative Supreme Court justice whisks away his environmental-radicalist 16-year-old daughter to a camp in the Adirondacks when she is suspended for destroying her school’s air conditioning system with a sledgehammer. As they will be living in the wilderness together until she “learns to behave,” they submit to the family psychologist’s rules designed to help them get along: He can’t talk about God or banish her to her room. She can’t blame him for everything and has to relinquish her phone. The plan works; the two are starting to enjoy each other’s company, fishing, hunting, searching for an elusive moose, and discussing the Supreme Court docket. But, when the daughter discovers her father’s ulterior motive for bringing her to the camp, the Judge is faced with the hardest decision of his life: does he sacrifice his ideological beliefs for the sake of his family?
