Reflections in a Ditch
Family triumph and turmoil rock upper Manhattan as Novo Novus Productions presents the world premiere of REFLECTIONS IN A DITCH, a new drama by Dane Joseph about a Detroit family muddling through the loss of a loved one. Presented as part of Cabrini Repertory Theater's Venus/Adonis Festival, performances are February 10, 14 & 16 in NYC.

"REFLECTIONS IN A DITCH is a stirring, yet familiar portrait of the tragic events and words that can often strain family relationships," notes playwright Dane Joseph. "The play not only examines these circumstances, but also the love that keeps families together instead of tearing them apart in the face of adversity."
In REFLECTIONS IN A DITCH, the Hardin family has gathered to plan the funeral of a troubled loved one whose body was gruesomely found only days earlier. As preparations get underway, forgotten memories resurface and unsettled wounds reopen leading the family to question the true meaning of love and loss.
The play features Donald Dashiell as "Tommy," Kilvin Johnson, Jr. as "Aaron," Arlene McGruder as "Vera," Charlene Modeste as "Nancy," Devon Settles, Jr. as "Raymond," and Akiyaa Wilson as "Jeanette."
