Surviving Grace

by Trish Vradenburg
Directed by Kathy Sturm
Performances run October 21 through November 6, 2022.
Produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing, INC.

The Story

Surviving Grace is a brutally honest, irreverent and moving story – laced with humor – that sheds light on the emotional ups and downs that 15.4 million Alzheimer’s caregivers in the United States go through each day. The play is based on Trish Vradenburg’s experience as a caregiver to her mother who died of Alzheimer's in 1992, “I thought my mom was invincible, but she was no match for Alzheimer’s. I watched helplessly as her mind, her dignity, and finally her body vanished into the unforgiving chasm of Alzheimer's. So why a serious play with a large dose of humor? Because that's how I survive life – if you don't laugh, you'll cry. We have to bring this disease out of the shadows and into the spotlight.”
