Grace, or the Art of Climbing
written by L M Feldman
directed by Erin Shea Brady
Faced with a painful chapter in her life and fighting the inertia of depression, Emm decides to enter the world of competitive rock-climbing. Her quest through the rugged and humorous terrain of physical training and personal relationships charts the journey of a young woman suspended between love and loss, strength and fear, fathers and daughters, and the ardor and grace of being human.
“
There is authentic tension and power behind Emm’s triumphs and failures as a climber thanks to director Erin Shea Brady’s staging and the company’s meticulous interactions with the space.”

The stage script – written by circus performer and queer feminist playwright L M Feldman – is a tremendous symbolic life lesson, and the cast and director Erin Shea Brady deliver it with an intelligent zest in all the joy it gives.”
“
The director, Erin Shea Brady, has discovered countless minute details in the piece and in the world of climbing that can be applied to make the show as accurate and as meaningful as possible.”
