Four adults, who were adopted when they were young, gather to share their stories of family, loss, love, pride, and identity. Here, they challenge us to face their own questions, stare down narratives that keep being thrown at them, and wonder how, and sometimes even if, this part of their stories matters. Together, they mourn the closures they cannot have, embrace a future that has always been wide open, and celebrate the people with whom they have grown.
Performer Siona Stone will lead a story circle after each show so that others can share stories about how adoption affected their lives.
This work-in-progress staged reading received support from a 2015 Leeway Foundation Art and Change Grant.
