Three sisters embark on intertwined journeys—through community exile, through a writers' room, through a remote coral reef, and through the absence of a fourth sister they hope they might somehow save. How do we keep going when something impossibly precious seems lost forever? Is there hope for building resiliency, or for coming back after devastation? (Also, there are animated anthropomorphized sloths, who also go on a journey.)

This workshop performance contains adult language.

Post-Show Discussion
A post-show discussion with the cast and artistic team will follow the performance each evening.

About Summer Partnership in the Arts
The Department of Theatre Arts' long tradition of presenting exciting work each summer began anew in 2018, with Summer Partnership in the Arts. Building on nearly a century of Iowa Summer Rep and twenty-five years of the academic year Partnership program, the department now offers students and audiences something new.

The purpose of the Summer Partnership program is to bring one or more guest artists to campus to work with students during a four-week residency and create a new theatrical piece. This developmental project will be presented as a small-scale production or a showing of work in process. It might follow the traditional new play development format or explore a highly experimental collaborative process.
