Running in Place Et Alia Theater Company

About This Show

Running in Place deals with mental health, love, and loss. Rebecca and Zoe relive their relationship to figure out where they went wrong and what led Zoe to leave. Zoe tries to show Rebecca that she is not to blame and that she needs to let go in order to move on. The themes of the play are dealt with in a delicate, yet a lot of times funny way. Et alia is an emerging theater company composed of international women who are eager to express and unite their culturally diverse backgrounds and feminist lenses through the performing arts.
