CMU John Wells MFA Directing

Congratulations to John Wells Fellow and MFA candidate Eben Hoffer for writing and directing his stunning thesis production MEMORY HABIT. Performed by an unreliable pair of narrators, MEMORY HABIT is a dual solo about intergenerational trauma: forgotten history, emerging (epi)genetic science, and how cultures attempt to survive and heal in the face of persistent haunting. If we are created by our ghosts, how are we to survive them? Is anyone more than a sum of their inherita...nce? Who do we decide has the right to their pain? 5 Performances remain: https://drama.cmu.edu/box-office/memory-habit/ Thursday: February 27th 8pm Friday: February 28th 4pm & 8pm Saturday: February 29th 2pm & 8pm
