Steinbach Neighbours for Community is sponsoring a new production this spring, called Laughter is Sacred Space. The touring production, featuring Ted Swartz, will be performed at the SRSS theatre on Friday, May 12 at 7:30pm. Tickets are available for $12 at the Steinbach Arts Council.
"In this gritty and dramatic play, Ted Swartz walks us through his relationship with friend and business partner Lee Eshleman, who died by suicide in 2007," reads a media statement. "Ted explores the paradox of working with a comedic partner struggling with bipolar disorder as well as the challenge of writing and performing stories about God while experiencing the absence of God after Lee's death by suicide."
Laughter Is Sacred Space combines live performances and multimedia to offer audiences both hope and humour.
