Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother fell ill and started treatments that don’t seem to be working. But tonight, there’s a visitor at his window, and it wants the most dangerous thing of all: the truth. This powerful theatrical adaptation, brought to life through inventive staging, explores the complexities of loss and the strength found in confronting the truth. Recommended for ages 13+ for intense emotional themes.
Gainesville Theatre Alliance is a one-of-a-kind, nationally-recognized collaboration between the University of North Georgia and Brenau University.
