Thank you to everyone who attended!

When an unexpected blizzard forces Berkeley freshman Mia into a rural highway gas station in Colorado, she must confront a past she is both fleeing and seeking out. In Her Bones explores the complicated legacy of crypto-Judaism in the Southwest, illuminating an unlikely alpine tale of faith and family secrets and how we pass on culture when written records are too dangerous to keep.

WAM Theatre’s Fresh Takes Play Reading Series presents ground-breaking stories that are imaginative and thoughtful explorations of complex issues affecting women and girls.

Featuring local professional actors and directors, the Fresh Takes play readings continue WAM’s commitment to connecting Berkshire audiences to female playwrights who are contributing to national and international theatre conversations.

    "In Her Bones is a love letter to my roots in rural Colorado that explores how place, history, and memory weave together to inform who we are-- and how we make sense of the most disparate pieces of our identities and family pasts."

    "I could not be more excited to return to WAM, one of my favorite companies, for the fourth time. This time I get to come back with my dear friend Jessica, and I'm thrilled to get to work on her play and share it with Berkshire audiences."
