On sale: 6/11/26 at 10am
The Black Bow: a memory that still wanders the soul.
Symbolic of the memories we hold in the back of our minds, this show, in a novelistic way, is an exploration of my interpretation of the five stages of grief.
It’s a poetic narration of a contemporary creation. The emotions within each stage of grief are tangibly reconciled through words compiled over the years.
Many pages filled with poetry; now the stage is filled with choreography, stemming from words I believe to be pertinent and relatable.
A story from long ago...about letting go, artistically and metaphorically, to be remembered as The Black Bow.
Run time: 95 minutes, with 15 minute intermission.
Age policy: Recommended for ages 8 and up. All patrons require a ticket including infants being held.
