Hollywood Fringe - the flower society

“The Flower Society” by Maryanne Householder, is a one act play that depicts the lives of four homeless women and their survival methods combatted with their personal struggles on the streets.

Through powerful real life stories and everyday endeavors that homeless women face, “The Flower Society” immerses the audience in a growing social epidemic and the hope for a better tomorrow.
