Do we ever really know our parents? Do we want to? Really? Two sisters are about to find out when they discover a hat box hidden in the back of their recently deceased father's closet. What sits inside sends them off to visit eccentric Aunt Esther and on an increasingly wild ride down memory lane. With surprising twists and hilarious turns, Eric Coble's new comedy of family lore revels in the bizarre and beautiful mysteries that make up a life. Karrie Waarala holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine, for which she wrote, produced, and performed her one-woman show, LONG GONE: A Poetry Sideshow, which debuted in Ypsilanti, MI, in 2011. She has directed, served as technical director, and appeared onstage for a number of PTD productions, and currently serves as PTD Productions Treasurer.
