Wherever You May Be

Reis’ Pieces Theatre Co—Théâtre Cercle Molière

A heartwarming story about learning of the past through the relatives who lived it, especially when said past can be dark and painful. Featuring strong acting from the eight person cast, the writing was also extremely impressive, with well constructed and positioned monologues. The few acoustic musical numbers were a nice touch and clearly very personal to the playwright. For those interested in stories of immigration specially, especially folks with Ukrainian ancestry like myself, this is a great show to check out.
