The Person I Once Was
Author(s):
Cindy Lou Johnson
Living with her over-protective older sister Mattie, Catherine (Cat) is increasingly impatient to know more of the world beyond their small Kentucky town. And she is oddly stirred by the strange young man who stands silently by the street lamp before their house, gazing up at her window. Eventually the young man, Blaise, strikes up a conversation, revealing that while he is now a bag boy at the local supermarket, he has ambitions far beyond his present occupation--ambitions which will soon make him someone other than "the person he once was." Jealous and fearful, and sensing that Blaise may not be all he claims to be, Mattie warns Cat against him, leading to a confrontation which stirs up long-standing enmities between the two sisters. But, as the play reaches its quiet, gently moving conclusion, it is love which ultimately triumphs--the realization by Mattie and Cat of the strong ties which will always bind them; and, for Cat, the promise of a new and different kind of love to enrich her life and fulfill her longings.
