We thank you for your understanding!

How We Got Over

A ritual performance and developing play exploring grief. Its influence on the body and spirit, and an exploration into how we transcend time and space through poetics, storytelling, and memory. This sanctuary will invite intimate and nuanced emotions, especially as we collectively navigate grief on a community and deeply personal level. Please arrive by 7:30 for a pre-show engagement and offering.
