Crooked Shadows at Tempe Center for the Arts

Grandma Rosa: Woman. Mother. Warrior. Curator of Family Herstory. Crooked Shadows visits heartfelt stories from childhood hijinks in a vibrant Italian American home to haunting moments of pain. As a granddaughter pieces together the stories of her grandma to solve a family mystery, she reaches a deeper understanding of her own experiences and uncovers a legacy of silent trauma. Shining a light in our darkest corners can unite our experiences through time and help recognize and break destructive cycles. We need to step out of the shadows.
