WILD STRAWBERRIES Comes to Available Light Theatre

Performances run February 27 - March 15th.

By:
WILD STRAWBERRIES Comes to Available Light Theatre

Available Light Theatre will present Wild Strawberries, an AVLT original devised work that asks: what is home? What defines it and what sends us looking for it? Gathering voices with roots near and far, poets, dancers and playwrights, AVLT presents its first original work since the pandemic exploring the nature of home in all its forms - physical, emotional, inherited, found and built by hand. Different for everyone and yet the same. Directed by Acacia Duncan.

You can't go home again. Especially if Mom is selling the house. As the adult children return to their childhood home they wrestle with what makes a place a home, and, once we leave it (or it leaves us) how do we find it again? An AVLT original play created in collaboration with dozens of artists who make Columbus great, Wild Strawberries is a play about longing, belonging, and the human need to find their way home.

Performances run February 27 - March 15th. There will be a talkback after all Thursday and Friday night performances. Online tickets start at $25 (plus CAPA's fees). "Pay What You Want" Tickets will be available at the door.
