ELOISE PARKER GOES TO THE MOON
by A.J. Ditty
directed by Kristin McCarthy Parker
November 7th - 8 pm
The story of love, cancer, and blasting off into the depths of space. When Eloise Parker is diagnosed with stage-three lung cancer, her initial terror gives way to hope with the revelation of a new experimental treatment: launching herself into space to extend her lifespan tenfold. But in order to do so, she must combat both the horrors of her disease and her own complicated relationships: with her wife, Victoria, whom she grows more and more distant from each day; with Tom, her co-pilot and child cancer survivor; and with the Moon itself, her childhood friend who may not have her best interests at heart.
Featuring: Brendan Dalton, Sean Ireland, Ellie Phillips, Cristina Pitter, and Akyiaa Wilson.
