"Our Second Pair of Kids" by Richard L. Jacobs Sr.

Darel Snodgrass talks with Richard L. Jacobs Sr. and his friend and collaborator Rodney Rastall about the struggles of coping with a loved one's addiction and recovery, and the production of this film, which features 17 local actors.

When Jacobs' daughter became addicted to heroin, he and his wife ended up adopting their grandchildren when their daughter was unable to care for them. This became the basis for the book Our Second Pair of Kids. Later, he ended up writing "Hello Young Person, My Name is Heroin," where Heroin explains exactly how he will ruin your life. This became the basis for the short film of the same name, premiering at Playhouse on the Square at 7 pm Wednesday, July 19th, 2023.
