and affecting new play.
It’s an emotional rollercoaster, just like life itself.”

“A thoughtful and excellent meditation on the long and winding road to healing.”
GILLIAN RUSSO, NEW YORK THEATRE GUIDE
Follow a talented dancer on a transformative journey in the bandaged place, a riveting new play by Harrison David Rivers.
Struggling to recover after an assault, Jonah realizes the only way to heal is by mending the relationships with his family. Directed by David Mendizábal of The Movement Theatre Company, this world-premiere production offers a humane statement about the scars we inherit – and the beauty they create.
Running time: One hour and forty-five minutes. No intermission.
Please be advised: This production contains sexual content, strobe effect, and moments of violence.
For all performances through December 31, 2022 at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (Laura Pels Theatre and Roundabout Underground) all audience members will be required to wear a properly fitting mask over the nose and mouth in the theatre except when eating or drinking.

About Roundabout Underground
Roundabout Underground productions are produced in Roundabout's Black Box Theatre located within the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. It is an initiative designed to foster new works by emerging theatre artists. Roundabout Underground allows Roundabout to take artistic risks that are not viable on its larger stages, whether giving a debut production to an emerging writer or allowing an experienced director to go back to his or her creative roots.
In addition to receiving an opportunity to debut their works as full-scale productions, up-and-coming playwrights receive the significant artistic and financial support of the country's largest not-for-profit theatre and a nurturing environment in which to debut their work.
