In Search of the Mothman at Theatre NOVA

Two young sisters navigate life, family, and sisterhood after an unexpected tragedy* strikes their hometown. Emily is just trying to make it through her senior year and get into music school, while Jordan moves across the country to West Virginia to “search for The Mothman.” Through honesty and humor, the sisters grapple with their trauma and what lives they want to lead in the aftermath.
