Homecoming

Dara is on the adventure of her life studying art in Australia when she gets that call-- her mom is dying, and she has to come home. How inconvenient! Their mother/daughter relationship was already difficult and now she’s dead. Well played, mom. You win.

What follows is a winding journey through the awkward, painful, unexpectedly hilarious process of finding yourself again after loss.

“Homecoming” is a darkly funny solo show about complicated grief, identity, and how losing your mom can really mess with your study abroad year (and the next 20 years after that).

So please: laugh, cry, or just sit there silently questioning your own life choices.
