I Need To Know My Father Part 2
New Revelations, New Conflicts, and a Family at a Crossroad
The first production introduced audiences to 16yearold Lisa Perkins, the daughter of Sarah Perkins and Jonathan Bonavich Jr. Their teenage love was abruptly severed when Jonathan Jr.’s mother, Claire Bonavich, rejected Sarah’s pregnancy due to class prejudice and social expectations. Jonathan Jr. was shipped overseas to continue his studies, never knowing Sarah was carrying his child; hence Lisa grew up denied the truth. denied her father and denied her true identity as she was named Perkins (similarly to Sarah who did not know either of her parents so was raised by her grand parents Louise and Roy Perkins).
But fate had other plans. In a dramatic twist, Lisa discovered the truth and ultimately had to save Jonathan Jr.’s life when he suffered a sudden stomach aneurysm and she became the only match for a critical blood transfusion he needed. That revelation was shattering and formed a wedge between Jonathan Jr and his parents for their despicable act towards Sarah and the Perkins family.
In Part 2, the emotional stakes rise even higher.
