[0:08] rabbit hole is a play about grief it is

[0:12] following this family including Becca

[0:15] and her husband Howie as they grieve the

[0:18] loss of their four-year-old son so Dany

[0:20] is the young son who accidentally was

[0:23] hit by a car 8 months previous they

[0:26] navigate the relation their relationship

[0:28] and the relationship with their family

[0:30] members and the aftermath of picking the

[0:34] picking up the pieces of their life

[0:36] trying to find a way forward through

[0:40] this absolutely horrible staggering loss

[0:44] in their lives and trying to figure out

[0:46] where this family stands as they

[0:49] encounter New Joys and new struggles and

[0:53] challenges Becca is a very loving caring

[0:57] mother supportive wife and loved being a

[1:00] mom loved her husband loved her life

[1:03] until the tragic event we're not going

[1:05] to wake up one day just be back where we

[1:06] used to be I know that so we have to

[1:09] head in that direction Becca's emotional

[1:11] journey through this play is really

[1:14] challenging because for a lot of it she

[1:17] is feeling completely overwhelmed as

[1:21] though she will never escape this pit of

[1:23] grief she now is just a shell of herself

[1:26] how do I navigate a relationship with

[1:30] this husband of mine and this family

[1:32] members that all seem to be doing okay

[1:35] for the most part and I'm stuck Izzy is

[1:40] the sister of Becca she's very Carefree

[1:43] kind of does her own leads her own path

[1:46] she definitely is the wild one the one

[1:49] who loves to party loves to have random

[1:53] jobs she gets fired often just because

[1:55] she has such a bad mouth and she kind of

[1:57] is a free spirit you hit her yeah right

[1:59] in the face boom she went down she finds

[2:02] out that she's pregnant and is having to

[2:05] face her own bit of crisis of well how

[2:07] do I reconcile the way that I've been

[2:10] living with being a mother it's

[2:13] definitely hard for her to tell Becca

[2:15] because of Dany and what happened to him

[2:18] Becca wants to be happy for her sister

[2:20] she also feels very conflicted because

[2:23] she feels that Izzy didn't earn it there

[2:27] actually is quite quite a few moment

[2:30] of of humor and you see like even

[2:34] between Becka and hoe some of their

[2:36] jokey nature to each other um their

[2:38] tender moments with each other they're

[2:40] not constantly fighting they do love

[2:42] each other and you see that even with

[2:44] Izzy Izzy's kind of the levity of the

[2:46] whole show she's got some of the most

[2:48] funny lines I think a lot of it has to

[2:51] do with how Izzy copes with

[2:53] uncomfortable situations if she senses

[2:56] tension in the room she has to

[2:57] immediately relieve it by saying

[2:58] something stupid I think I really hope

[3:00] that audiences come to see a very

[3:03] beautifully written show with amazing

[3:06] actors the people I've cast are bringing

[3:08] these characters to life I hope that

[3:10] they get a chance to examine grief in a

[3:12] real in a real way without having to

[3:14] necessarily have it pressed on them

[3:16] within their family even in the darkest

[3:20] times when you feel like the grief or

[3:23] the pressure or the weight of the world

[3:25] is just too much to bear there is hope

[3:29] please come out and see expression

[3:31] theater's production of rabbit hole we

[3:34] open April 4th through the 13th we would

[3:36] love to see you there and you know what
