This play is deeply moving and powerfully performed.
It is winter and bitterly cold. Jason Gregory sits in a modest hotel room. He is there because the last living member of his family, his sister, has died.
Enter the fascinating dreamscape drama blended with memory, and learn the meaning of A Baker's Dozen. Join us on a journey into Jason's mind as he is inundated by the voices of his family, played out before you on the stage.
This living, breathing, family drama dives into the ties of family bonds and the stakes and curses, both real and imagined, that will leave you moved to the very core.
Will Jason follow his family, or find hope?
Come find out this November.
Content Disclaimer: The play does deal with inter-generational trauma, abuse, addiction and substance use, mental illness, death and suicide.

Theatre is a powerful place where we can make life<-->drama connections. Despite the intense drama this play has, it will not leave you in despair, rather it will hopefully provide the opposite. That we are never alone when we struggle with mental health and can stand with one another in solidarity and support.
Partial proceeds from ticket revenue of this season will go towards mental health resources for artists and audiences attending shows or working with us.
