The Marsh Berkeley presents “Other” at The Marsh Berkeley

The Marsh Berkeley will present Elaine Magree’s “Other,” a profound and entertaining journey of personal and genealogical discovery, directed by Kenny Yun and developed by Rebecca Fisher and David Ford. Filled with irony, irreverence, and forgiveness, this compelling solo show shines a light on a dark corner of U.S. history through the lens of Magree's absorbing personal family story. Audiences follow Magree on a difficult and unexpectedly funny road trip to the reservation she visited as a child, as she seeks the proper resting place for her mother's ashes. In this humorous and insightful work, “Other” weaves together flashbacks from Magree’s troubled childhood and her larger ancestral past, as she untangles the secrets of her mixed heritage, examining complex questions of identity that are often reduced to simple checkboxes.
