Good Mourning 

A staged reading of a new play by guest artist Jared Sprowls

Saturday, December 7, 7 pm

In Good Mourning, Jared Sprowls sits shiva for his late sister…twenty years too late. Through dramatized Jewish ritual, Sprowls wonders how we best hold onto memories and asks whether we ever truly stop mourning. Audiences are invited to slow down along with Sprowls in this intimate solo show and take time to remember what we’re often asked to forget.

Directed by Gabrielle Schutz. Written and Performed by Jared Sprowls.
