Coming Back for Me by Amy da Luz
The Cary Playwrights’ Forum proudly presents the new full-length stage play
COMING BACK FOR ME by Amy da Luz
Rehearsals for "Coming Back for Me" at the Cary Arts Center! Performances held at Mettlesome Theatre in Durham.
About the Play
Dorothy is a middle-aged woman, mother, spouse, and dead-end cubicle worker. One day she’s visited by a mysterious presence that turns her identity inside-out. She discovers her true self through expressive, provocative art pieces – much to the chagrin of her husband and young son. With her finances close to ruin, and familial responsibilities mounting, can Dorothy afford to call herself an artist?
Join us for this powerful piece about artists and the world they navigate.
