United States Artists Fellow, winner of Yale's Windham Campbell Prize in Drama, and Associate Company Member at Pillsbury House + Theatre (PHT) Sharon Bridgforth queerly/explores her relationship with her aging mother as she seeks to recover, understand, hold and heal the love that she feels for her. This journey drops Sharon into the question of what kind of mother was I? in before you go: an Offering.
Made of glimmers of memories - prayers/letters/and dreams. Additionally Sharon offers the reader prompts and invitations to activate conjure/release which are meant to be invitations for the reader to walk towards the broken places in their hearts for the sake of creating paths to their own healing.
This book is a part of the Sledgehammer Series with The Impossible Plays of Migdalia Cruz by Migdalia Cruz. The Sledgehammer Series lives within Tripwire's mission, with a specific focus on challenging how theater can live visually on the page.
