What a journey! Thank you to Erin and this team for this play that allows for a real and raw exploration of grief and family dynamics. It’s going to be strange not spending so much time together with this cast that grew very close. I’m going to miss the ridiculous singing, the smooth dance moves, the clowning (so many of our love language), the deep talks, the exploration of self and the supported growth, so much good food, birthday harmonies, hella guffaws and giggles, the wenis love…I could go on and on. 💃🏿😝🥰🤗
**Not only did Erin gift us this beautiful play, but at the same time she released her debut novel, JACKAL! I highly suggest you buy and read it!** 📚
I am deeply invested in this play that hits very close to home, and so proud to be a part of the team that had the privilege of bringing this to the stage! We really jumped into this one with our hearts and souls. 💜💜💜
