Review: IN A WORD In a Mortuary

Elements Theatre Collective Presents: In a Word-Two years have passed since Fiona's son disappeared, and the elements of her world still don't line up, from her aloof husband to the careless detective and the creepy neighbor who may know too much. Elements Theatre Collective offers free admission to all shows, and their bold, dramatic material is provocative and wrenching. For more information: www.elementstc.org

Runs 9/30 at the Java Station; 10/1 in Lompoc; and 10/2 at Maraville Santa Barbara.

Featuring Jenna Scanlon, Jeffrey Doornbos, and Matthew Tavianini. Directed by Michael Bernard.
