I also recently had the distinct pleasure of speaking with another friend and fellow actor/playwright, Anne Undeland. We spoke about her brand new play “Lady Randy,” which is about Winston Churchill’s mother, Jennie Jerome.

“Screenagers” is a film by doctor, filmmaker and mother Delaney Ruston, who turned the camera on her own family and others, revealing stories that depict messy struggles over social media, video games, academics and Internet addiction.
