Join us for this brand-new comedy about grief. Roberta arrives in Dublin but her suitcase—which contains her father’s ashes— doesn’t. Her trip turns into a magical mystery tour and the lost suitcase becomes a symbol of her life. This lyrical and intoxicating comedy tests forgiveness, love, and our trust in the universe.
This amazing cast of new and familiar faces to SLAC’s stage includes Anne Louise Brings (A Year with Frog and Toad; SLACabaret: Down the Rabbit Hole, Stupid F*cking Bird) as Roberta, Darryl Stamp* (Cozy Mystery Theatre, Amerikin, How to Make a Rope Swing) as Hiker/Bartender; and making their main stage SLAC debuts will be Heidi Hackney* as Carol/Fiona/Irish Woman, and the director of our upcoming production of Bat Boy: The Musical, Eric Sciotto* as Garth/Aemon.
