LITTLE BY LITTLE

The New Full-Length Play
by
Nathan Sanders

(Meredith Eaton as "Della Mae Harrison")

"Sometimes in life... it's the little things that mean the most."

Della Mae Harrison will never grow above four feet tall, but living under the thumb of her disapproving Christian fundamentalist aunt, she may never flourish emotionally either. That is, until Aunt Cora Jean brings a boarder into their home in Christmas, Florida, introducing Della to a whole new world where the sky's the limit and size is only "relative."

"Nathan Sanders has crafted a really terrific play about outsiders living on the fringes of life. (Little by Little) tells the story of a beautifully deep friendship between two very different women."

Michelle T. Hall,
Literary Manager
Arena Stage
(Washington, DC)

"A beautiful play!" - Dixie Carter

"Little by Little" is the unforgettable story of Della Mae Harrison, a vibrant and charismatic little person from Christmas, Florida.

Living in emotional bondage with her overbearing aunt, Della's life suddenly changes dramatically with the arrival of Mavis Sue Blanton, a new boarder in Aunt Cora Jean's home.

Soon Della and Mavis Sue set out together on an epic adventure that takes them all the way from the backwoods of Central Florida to New York City during the AIDS ravaged 1980's.

Along this incredible journey, Della discovers, not only herself, but also the true nature of "family" and friendship.
