About the Event
Join us for this exciting workshop performance of guest artist Jared Sprowls. 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.
