ABOUT MARJORIE PRIME 

What would you say to someone you lost, if you could see them again? What if they’re a better listener now  than when they were alive? Pulitzer Prize finalist Jordan Harrison reinvents the family drama in his richly spare,  wryly funny, and powerful MARJORIE PRIME, directed by Tony Award® nominee Anne Kauffman (Mary Jane).  A heart-achingly beautiful rumination on aging and artificial intelligence, memory and mortality, love and legacy,  MARJORIE PRIME examines the blurred line between a life lived and a life remembered. 

MARJORIE PRIME will feature scenic design by Lee Jellinek, costume design by Márion Talán de la Rosa, lighting  design by Ben Stanton, and sound design and original music by Daniel Kluger. Casting is by Daniel Swee, CSA.
