It follows the relationships between three generations of women. Eleemosynary – adjective: Of, relating to, or dependent on charity; charitable. Lee University Theatre opened the 2012 spring season with Lee Blessing's Eleemosynary, a play about a grandmother, her daughter, and grandchild. There is a play titled, "Eleemosynary".

The first play, Goodbye, My Fancy, was produced in April of 1952, and from that time the group has continued to grow into a successful organization. It's about a girl in a spelling bee and her relationship with her mother and some other female in her lifeI can't rememberit's by Lee Blessing. And that strengthens the emotion of the play and ties us closer to these characters, making for a deeper impact on us, the audience.

Her homicidal performance there puts all the subsequent spelling bee dramatizations to shame. Most plays can't boast that they increase your word power while keeping you highly entertained, but Eleemosynary by Lee Blessing does just that.
