I Got Flowers is a moving theatrical presentation that examines how domestic violence can develop and escalate within a relationship.

Through spoken text, songs, and eight dramatic scenes, the play follows a woman from the beginning of a new romance through marriage and the emergence of troubling behavior. As the story unfolds, the meaning of the title I Got Flowers reveals the emotional cycle at the heart of the production.

After each scene, a narrator guides the audience through what happened and why, offering insight into common warning signs, patterns of control, and the progression of domestic violence.

Presented by Ruth's House and written and directed by Dr. Nancy Buroughs, this special community event is proudly sponsored by Arts of the Pamlico, the City of Washington Human Relations Council and Noon Rotary, whose support helps bring important conversations like this to our community through the performing arts.

There is no charge to attend. Donations will be requested to benefit Ruth's House and its ongoing work supporting survivors of domestic violence.
