Once a week, six recently bereaved strangers gather for group therapy. It’s a stable routine — until one day, their grief counselor is inexplicably MIA. The group’s typical session quickly goes off the rails, offering an open-ended meditation on loss, with revelations that are at once beautiful, funny, and heartbreaking. Doménica Feraud’s new play examines the complicated emotions that accompany grief, while exploring universal and personal truths that are sure to stay with you for a lifetime.
The cast features Gamze Ceylan (Film: Ben Is Back; TV: “Tales of the City”) as Evelyn, Alison Cimmet (Broadway: Gary, She Loves Me, The Mystery of Edwin Drood) as Nelle, Delia Cunningham (Regional: A View from the Bridge, directed by Ivo van Hove; TV: Paper Girls, Elementary, Madam Secretary) as Jude, Ana Cruz Kayne (Film: Barbie, Little Women; TV: Painkiller) as Lily, Shakur Tolliver (Off-Broadway: Soft; Regional: Passing Strange, Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train) as Julian and Damian Young (TV: The Comeback; Film: Birdman, The Trial of the Chicago 7) as Thom.
