A one-woman play by Dael Orlandersmith
Admission is free & open to the public, but seating is limited. Please arrive early.
Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith explores family and heritage in this one-woman play.
An uplifting semi-autobiographical exploration of the family we are born into and the family we choose, "Forever" draws from Orlandersmith’s own pilgrimage to the famed Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris — the final resting place of legendary artists such as Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison. At the graveside of these timeless artists, Orlandersmith finds unexpected grace in a gripping tale of the legacy a daughter inherits from her mother.
Orlandersmith is an Obie, Guggenheim and PEN Award-winning playwright and performer. Her writing credits include "Beauty's Daughter," "Horsedreams," and "Yellowman."
