BREAKDOWN
DAYBREAK is a lyrical new play set in three time periods, that is inspired by the true stories of two women friends, survivors of the Armenian genocide, and using memory, dreams, and music, carries the story of these women and their families, into the 21st century future to celebrate love, beauty and the endurance of the human spirit.
