FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Opening on Thursday: I will miss you when you’re gone by Jessica Moss; announcing post-show gatherings and conversations with cast and community partners
What’s it about?
A lonesome country song about grief and bureaucracy, I will miss you when you’re gone is a hilariously moving play about how loneliness and isolation drive people to drastic measures. In a non-descript office building and a drab apartment, two women are haunted by the wrong ghosts. Is it an administrative filing error or are they there to help people in danger of disappearing find the connections that they so desperately need? A painfully humorous story about four women struggling with life, loss, and longing for connection in a lonely modern world.
I will miss you when you’re gone grapples with the themes of workplace burnout, suicidal ideation, and survivors’ grief at the loss of a loved one to a long-term illness, all set to a soundtrack of classic country music and featuring the cutest little Roomba you ever did see.

On March 13th and 15th, our team will gather in conversation with community partners whose work addresses the issues of isolation and grief that surround the characters in the play.
