The Art of Disappearing: A Rehearsed Reading by Stephanie Alison Walker

November 17, 2024 @ 3:00 pm

A rehearsed reading of Stephanie Alison Walker’s play about family secrets and self-discovery.

Experience a powerful rehearsed reading of “The Art of Disappearing” by Stephanie Alison Walker, directed by Lorena Diaz, Artistic Director of Teatro Vista. The play follows Melissa, who returns home after a two-year estrangement to uncover devastating family secrets. As her mother practices the art of disappearing, Melissa must decide whether to fight for her family or disappear herself. This thought-provoking play was a Primus Prize 2016 Finalist and is published by Broadway Play Publishing, Inc.

Exciting news! Our post-show discussion panel will include a trio of professionals who work with people impacted by Alzheimer’s. This promises to be a rich discussion that will make a huge difference for families and caregivers of loved ones impacted by this devastating disease.
