"Grief...A Comedy" at Mahaiwe Theater

Alison Larkin's hit show Grief… A Comedy comes to the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on June 12 and 13, where it will be filmed before a live audience for an upcoming special, directed by Scott Floyd Lochmus (Barbra Streisand: Back to Brooklyn) with music by Gary Schreiner.

After marriage, divorce, and raising two children, Alison — now in her 50s — had made peace with the idea that great romantic love had passed her by.

Then she met Bhima at the Red Lion Inn in the Berkshires. What followed was a once-in-a-lifetime love story that would change everything.

When Archbishop Desmond Tutu heard what happened next, he insisted Alison return to comedy to tell this story as widely as possible. "Because," he said, "it will bring hope."

Hailed as "hugely entertaining, marvelously light-footed" by the Times (London), Larkin's electrifying performance takes us on a funny, moving, life-affirming journey that uplifts audiences and brings them hope long after the curtain falls.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of the audience for the live filming of a show that is inspiring audiences around the world.
