A Note from the Artistic Director

Greetings!
We are excited this year to bring you a new mainstage production in December!
This beautiful play, written by Emma Gibson, was a part of our Meet the Artist
Series last May, and we loved it so much we had to produce it. There were so
many worthy new plays submitted to Vivid Stage for this season that we had to
find a way to include one more. So welcome to our early winter production of
Water in My Hands.
We are excited to welcome Jane Mandel, founder of Luna Stage, to direct this
production. And in addition to the ensemble members in the play, are also thrilled
to play with Thomas Vorsteg this time around. The play is an intimate look at
some of life’s most profound challenges, and how we can make it to the other
side.
Here’s hoping that your holidays are filled with wonderful people and experiences.
We appreciate that you’ve chosen to visit us here as a part of your December
festivities.
All the best,
Laura Ekstrand
