It's the fall of 1911 when Jo Levitt dies, throwing strained family relationships into chaos: an estranged sister outraged, a lover grieving alone, a quiet brother trying to keep the peace. A nephew thrust into a journey of self-discovery he isn't ready for. With both humor and sincerity, “Someone will remember us” is a play about love, grief, and family that resonates across the decades.

The Footlight Club is committed to diversity and inclusion. As such, we encourage performers of all races and ethnicities, gender identities, sexualities, and abilities to audition.
