in a word at Echo Theatre

Echo Theatre is proud to announce the first show of our 2022 season: in a word by Lauren Yee, directed by Eric Berg!Today is Fionas birthday and the two-year anniversary of her sons disappearance, and still, nothing makes sense to her: not the incompetent detective, her understanding boss, or the neighborhood kidnapper who keeps casually introducing himself at the grocery store. Her husband, Guy, is desperately trying to move on, but Fiona delves back into her memories of that fateful day, struggling to find the right words to bring her son home. A comedy about motherhood and how the words we use to describe tragedy can take on a life of their own.Starring:Jennifer Engler as FionaJared Culpepper as GuyThomas Magee as ManLive Performances at the Bath House Cultural Center!Previews March 17 at 8:00pm CSTPerformances March 18 April 10 on Fridays (8:00pm CST), Saturdays (2:00pm CST and 8:00pm CST*), and Sundays (2:00pm CST)* Saturday, March 19 will only have an 8:00pm CST performance.A recording of the production will also be available to stream April 10 - 24 on Fridays (8:00pm CST), Saturdays (2:00pm CST and 8:00pm CST), and Sundays (2:00pm CST).Join us for virtual talkbacks with the cast and creative team after the 2:00pm CST performances on April 16 and April 24.$20 per Person for Live Performances* (Or $25 with a Donation)$20 per Person for Streaming (Or $25 with a Donation)Previews are Pay-What-You-CanStudents and Seniors are always $10 (Both Live and Streaming)Free live admission for active/retired military and first responders.*Opening Night Tickets are $30 and include post-show cake and champagne."ECHO ON" FREE TICKET PROGRAMUp to 10 Free tickets will be set aside at every performance, first come first served.
