There’s a river running through us. 

It runs from the past to the present to the future. 

It runs beneath all the games we play to belong: right/wrong, good/bad, us/them. 

 

In this 60-minute, one-woman play, Denise Casey follows the river back through all the games she’s played to the source. From taking cover in a monastery to skip out of rehab to finding refuge in the trees until she could hear them speak and then time-traveling through a seventh-grade science class. Part memoir, part meditation, part make-believe, Playing the Game is unshaking in its exploration of imagination and courage. It will leave you singing, humming and remembering that another way is not only possible, but it's on the way.
