Wilda has modeled her life after that of her grandmother: to be fearless and adventure down the same dirt roads. When she's diagnosed with a debilitating illness, the vision of her future gets ripped away as she's welcomed to a club that she never asked to be a part of. But when another club member goes through a crisis, Wilda is forced to look her worst nightmare in the eye.

This play takes an unflinching view on life after the diagnosis of Crohn's disease.

Tickets: Available by calling MetroTix at (314) 534-1111, at the Fabulous Fox box office, or by visiting http://www.metrotix.com

The production will be directed by Madelyn Boyne. The cast of Facing will feature Laurel Stevenson, Michelle Dillard, Nancy Lubawitz, Tinah Twardowski, Anna Drehmer, and Lydia Aiken.
