Ashland at CoHo Theatre

Ashland is a story about end-of-life choices, queer identity, and hope in the face of adversity. The tone we would most like to capture from auditions is the humor and hope that underlies the play.

After a young woman is unexpectedly diagnosed with a terminal illness and chooses to pursue Death with Dignity, she and her new partner must navigate the beginning and end of their relationship simultaneously. As the young woman’s health rapidly declines, her partner and her two siblings grapple with the absurdity and hilarity of death, what it means to be family, and what it takes to let go.
