A Hero’s Journey

A sort-of-solo show about one woman's imaginative journey through grief

Are you ready for adventure? Join Hero, a clown-like hero, that is called on a hero's journey by her phone. Meet Harry Potter Doll (HPD), E-william Shakespeare (ES), and other characters in this highly theatrical show using puppets, physical theatre, and exposed theatricality to explore grief through play.

Written and Performed by Emily Clare Zempel
Directed by Elizabeth Audley
Assistant Directed by Emily Dykeman
Sound and Music by Jonathon Roberts

***This show is meant for adults. Mature, vaccinated kids age 12+ may attend with parental discretion. There are intense moments, adult themes of grief, and a curse word or two.
