Main Street Theater presents Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, a poignant one-woman show featuring Pamela Vogel. Directed by Rebecca Greene Udden, the production explores Didion's deeply personal experience of grief following the loss of her husband and the illness of her daughter. With performances running from October 19 to November 17, this adaptation captures the author's unique blend of compassion and dark humor amid her journey through unimaginable sorrow. The play is based on Didion's acclaimed memoir, which won the National Book Award.
