In NO WAKE, Nolan and Rebecca have moved on since their divorce - she to a new husband and he to a series of failed relationships. However, when an unexpected tragedy brings them back together, they're forced to navigate a web of grief and guilt that leads to tears, laughter and ultimately, hope. At once deeply touching and filled with humor, NO WAKE takes an honest look at the grieving process and the unexpected consequences it can bring.

Comments director Kimberly Senior, "NO WAKE challenges us to really explore the ties that bind through intense dialogue and complex relationships. Grief becomes the source of fragility and strength. I'm so excited to dive into this actor driven material with such fantastic collaborators."

The production team for NO WAKE includes: Brian Sidney Bembridge (scenic and lighting design), Alarie Hammock (costume design), Mikhail Fiskell (original music and sound design), John Tovar (Fight Choreographer), Frances Limoncelli (dramaturg), Ellen Willett (production manager) and Ari Clouse* (stage manager).
