ABOUT
This poignant World Premiere explores the always personal, often turbulent journey of faith. After losing a difficult pregnancy, a young evangelical faces another tragedy when she suffers a stroke that not only removes all memory of the relationship with her husband but also removes all memory of the faith she has spent her life depending upon.
The play was developed as part of the Theatre East Writers Room and received a full workshop at the Powerhouse Theater at Vassar College in 2022.

CAST
Cathryn Shelton Jones (Jenn) has been involved with the company for many years, but could not be more thrilled to be making her Theatre East acting debut in this special production. Past roles include: Laura in CHATROOM (The Tank), Elizabeth Graves in ENCHANTED APRIL (Stella Adler Studio), Ariel in THE TEMPEST and Pat in CRY HAVOC (Salem Fine Arts Center). Training: NYU Tisch (B.F.A.), Yale Drama Summer Conservatory, Berkshire Theatre Festival. In her other life, Cathryn directs the anti-discrimination practice group at a woman-owned data mining & analytics company that specializes in class action lawsuits with large data, consulting on issues that range from social media addiction to anti-gun trafficking to bodily autonomy. She loves yoga and basketball, but her favorite sport is undoubtedly critiquing musicals.
