World Premiere by Elizabeth DeSchryver, directed by Helen Hayes Award nominee Steven Carpenter.

When Agatha Ganner discovers a mystery painting in her deceased husband’s art collection, she engages an energetic graduate student to research it for her. As disturbing crimes of the past are unearthed, Agatha must decide to either right the wrong – and possibly ruin lives – or leave the past in the past. Is doing the right thing always the right thing to do?

“Life isn’t fair. It’s a painful lesson we learn as children and carry into adulthood. We face injustice, but what we hoped would be a clear choice dissolves into a gray fog. It’s when the choices aren’t clear that we find out what we are made of, and what we really value. An Unbuilt Life tries to explore that, from the head and the heart.” — Elizabeth DeSchryver
