IMAGINING BRAD Continues Through July 25, 2015
Additionally, IMAGINING BRAD will continue its TALK BACK EVENT SCHEDULE for the ongoing performances
Each evening will include a talk-back promptly after the show in which distinguished guests – some involved in helping victims of domestic abuse rebuild their lives and some that have incorporated their own experience with abuse into their art – writers, comedians, poets, filmmakers, musicians, etc. Our hope is that a vibrant conversation will take place amongst the panelists giving us a bit more information on the facts and figures as well as a mission that we can each go forth with to insite change at a personal level. Of course, there will be time allowed for questions from the audience. The strength of the human spirit to survive and thrive will astound.

Nashville – graffiti – a ball of flesh – a tuft of blue hair – hymnals – beer in Styrofoam mugs – respectable orgasms…In this absurd, poignant, uncomfortably funny play written by Academy Award nominated Peter Hedges, two women grow a unique friendship of compassion, support, and survival. Imagining Brad beautifully reveals the often disquieting dynamics in the relationship of men and women in contemporary society.
