The Waterworks

Thread and Bone is a sometimes funny, always honest solo-work that is part memoir, part eulogy, and part dressmaking project. It is an intimate patchwork of love, family, grief, and heart-surgery survival, where one woman and her sewing machine tear apart and re-stitch a dress in less than an hour. Based on the artist’s personal experience losing a sister to sudden cardiac death, then having open heart surgery herself for the same cardiac issues, it explores themes of sibling-loss, grief, scars, survivor-guilt, family-dynamics, healing, and of course - dressmaking! This play is a celebration of the ways grief and memory can un-make and re-make us all. During its appearance at the 2023 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, critics described Thread and Bone as “devastatingly beautiful” and “full of heart and just enough humor.” Thread and Bone premiered at the Chicago Fringe Festival in 2018, where it received the Volunteer Choice Award. Thread and Bone is created and performed by Lisa Egan Woods, a Kentucky based theatre artist and heart-surgery survivor. Lisa holds a BA in Theatre from the University of Kentucky, an MFA in Acting from The Asolo Conservatory/Florida State University, is a graduate of The Second City Conservatory Chicago, and a proud member of Actor’s Equity Association.
