After its success in our inaugural SoloLab Series, we are glad to have PTSD back as our first Works-in-Progress production this season!
Can there be laughter in the healing process? The lives of survivors, perpetrators, and bystanders weave together in a wickedly funny and piercingly insightful one woman show about a community trying to heal after a sexual assault. In POST TRAUMATIC SUPER DELIGHTFUL, the personal is political, the political is personal. And the person is a clown.
