When the beloved family dog dies the Barnes matriarch melts into a puddle of grief, calling on her adult children to come home for the increasingly elaborate canine funeral. Siblings Elijah, Maris and Louise quickly jump into their younger roles as their parents work to keep their marital strain at bay. Each family member holds a host of secrets- from pregnancy to rekindled romance, even a new, hidden furry friend- bobbing and weaving through words and actions to avoid truths with comic flair and ensemble brilliance! Created and produced by an entirely female crew and featuring a cast beaming with talent, WHEN WE GROW UP digs through complicated issues of aging, adoption, and family while maintaining a light-hearted core of dramatic irony.
