"Wrong River" Opens at the Flint Rep

We had a successful and joyous opening at the Flint Rep this weekend. It has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime to work on this show with such enormous talent and heart. A play about the Flint water crisis, performed in Flint, FOR Flint, is what storytelling is all about! This is why we do it!

As the water crisis in Flint, Michigan begins to make national headlines, a young couple struggling to make ends meet scrambles to fight for a better future for their daughter– even if it means losing everything they have. Developed in Flint Rep’s 2020 New Works Festival.
