Northwest Classical Theatre Collaborative:
The Year of Magical Thinking
Sunday, October 20 | 2-3:15 PM
Burgess Community Room | Adults
Joan Didion’s award-winning memoir The Year of Magical Thinking
recounts the year that both her husband and daughter died. It
spotlights the force that grief is in our lives as well as how we can
move forward through the trials of loss to heal ourselves. This live
performance of the play adaptation includes violin accompaniment
and a brief post-play forum discussion.
