Central Ohio writer-actor Julie Whitney-Scott drew from her career as a chemical-dependency and mental-health counselor to create “Diary of Recovering Daughters,” which will be streamed live Thursday by Abbey Theater of Dublin and available on-demand through Jan. 28.
“I wrote this to bring a voice to the many women of all races and ages that I’ve counseled over the last 35 years,” said Whitney-Scott, 65, who will perform the solo play.
The 70-minute one-act centers on an African American counselor, looking back on her years leading group therapy sessions to help five troubled women.
