Invincible Ones

Time and Location

Reeling from their best friend's death, a group of women face what their lives look like in the aftermath. In the wake of loss, they each attempt to answer seemingly unanswerable questions: Who will give the eulogy? Will they ever be able to live alone?  Why did that girl’s brother show up? Drawing on roller derby culture, Invincible Ones explores the way we handle grief, guilt, and a constant drip from the heavens (apartment) above.

Special talk-back with playwright Samantha Cooper after 2/17 2 p.m. performance.

Written by Samantha Cooper

Directed by Lizanne Schader
