Together We Are Making a Poem in Honor of Life by Dean Poynor
TOGETHER WE ARE MAKING A POEM IN HONOR OF LIFE by Dean Poynor will receive its world premiere in a stirring environmental production that follows a couple through grief counseling after their son has become a victim in a school tragedy.
Audiences are invited to sit with Rebecca (Heidi Armbruster from the Pulitzer Prize winning play Disgraced) and Brian (Michael Dempsey from Broadway's Of Mice and Men, Three Days of Rain and reasons to be pretty) as they search for their ability to re-connect and re-build their lives.
Come and join the circle in this beautiful portrait of grief and witness the power that keeps us together.
