<div><strong>About MOURNING SUNSET:</strong>
</div>
<div>For two weekends this August, audiences can get to know the Wright family and witness firsthand the trials and tribulations of a family working through love, loss, lies, and ultimately, redemption. ​
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"James Wright is in the most difficult hours of his life. Struggling to hold his young family together, he swings between managing two small children and nursing his ailing wife. Tensions mount further with the arrival of his estranged mother, and later his father, with whom he has recently healed a once strained relationship. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>When the competition and decades-old animosity between his parents intensifies, James is forced to decide whether to hide behind old dynamics, or shatter dysfunctional patters from the past and break the cycle of familial trauma once and for all.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"<strong>MOURNING SUNSET</strong> explores familial grief through the lens of generational trauma. Set in Montana over the course of two days the play examines how past decisions reverberate through time, shaping relationships between parents and children; revealing how secrets can either heal or further fracture strained family bonds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eschewing melodrama for raw authenticity, the characters reveal their truths gradually and naturally. The result illuminates how families navigate loss while wrestling with unresolved trauma." ~ James Scarborough, What the Butler Saw

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us take <strong>MOURNING SUNSET </strong>to a new stage this summer!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Gratitude,
</div>
<div>OTW and the Creative Team
