ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION
Theatres
St. James Theatre
(Apr 24, 2024 - Aug 10, 2024)
Setting
A hike through the woods, in the bright, crisp, early autumn. A special, air-filled, hard-to-reach place, where individual people become a community by sharing stories and imagining each other... lit by a campfire.
