Elizabeth Inghram and Joanna Parson present a return engagement of NOT HELPFUL: PRETTY SONGS AND FEMININE HARMS

The Ashes of Forgotten Rain is a story about the true indie theatre experience: taking yourself too seriously. It's a pretentious story about being pretentious. A deep dive into shallow waters. A feminist perspective written by a man. The Ashes of Forgotten Rain is a fast-paced, hard-hitting comedy for anyone who loves the theatre and is willing to laugh at themselves for it.
