GLAAD Winning Play Communion

Primal Forces (www.primalforces.com) explores today’s cultural divide with the provocative play, Communion by Daniel MacIvor. The GLAAD-winning production features a lesbian psychiatrist, an alcoholic and her evangelical daughter who form a tense triangle. MacIvor’s examination of women in modern-day society stars Jacqueline Laggy, Kim Ostrenko and Jenna Wyatt and is directed by Keith Garsson. Communion opens January 24, 2018 at Empire Stage.

“This play explores whether or not some bonds are too damaged to mend,” explains Garsson. “Communion parallels much of what we are experiencing in today’s society as the divisiveness in our nation is played out in families across the country. So, can we find common ground and repair the damage that has been done? Is what bonds us stronger than what divides us? This theme along with the intense mother/daughter relationship and the acceptance of sexuality are also interwoven throughout.”
