The Strand Theater Presents
as part of the Friends and Neighbors Festival
Graveyard Bride
By Alex Hewett
Graveyard Bride is the fourth play to be featured in the Strand's inaugural festival. "The festival has exceeded our wildest expectations," exclaims Artistic Director Jayme Kilburn "we have introduced new patrons to our space and given them an opportunity to view an eclectic mix of theater for only $5. It is a win win!"
Strand Theater Company Member Alex Hewett presents a newly formed performance piece based on photos taken of her in a graveyard while celebrating her recent divorce. Alex takes you on a journey of self discovery that takes her from a new-age gift shop where she consults with a witch, to a dark, freezing graveyard where she connects with an unlikely couple. It's a story of lost loves and loves never had. But most of all it is a story of new beginnings - of starting over without looking back.
Friday, June 26th at 8pm
