"for the rest of our lives" is a workshop production of one of Erin Malone Turner's new plays. Featuring two stunning local actors and directed by Erin herself, this play is a drama about two souls who relentlessly reconnect from one era to another. Feel free to partake in the pre-show audience engagement activity that asks questions about relationships, life, death, and life after death; please stay for the talkback to ask Erin and the actors questions about the process of bringing this lofty play to life together. Come along for a journey through time itself as we all consider the resilience of relationships, the artifacts of our lives, and what truly stands the test of time.
This is a play for fans of new plays, Aida, and Past Lives, as well as anyone who has ever experienced profound love and/or profound loss; you may find that they go hand in hand. Erin hopes that you walk away with a reevaluation of ideas on reincarnation, how relationships can be built, whether love is enough to make a relationship last, and what it means to love someone at all.
