About the show:
Since bringing our production of Twelfth Night to Saint Elizabeths Hospital last fall we have developed a unique relationship with this historical DC institution. 

Over the course of the summer, Andy Wassenich (Wandering Souls company member) with the help and guidance of the Saint Elizabeth's staff has been leading a playwriting intensive with a handful of individuals in care at the hospital.   At the end of this 8 week course each of the students will have written a ten minute play on the themes of recovery, overcoming adversity and hope.

In late August, a team of professional artists, designers, directors and dramaturge will come together to help bring these plays to life. Throughout the month of October the show will hit the road and bring the performance to our friends at DC's homeless shelters, retirement homes , schools, hospitals and other community centers.
