Well

January 17, 2025 — January 26, 2025

Carver Studio

From the mind of Kalamazoo College alum Lisa Kron, Well is a heartfelt and witty exploration of health, family, and community. Set in Lansing, Michigan, this semi-autobiographical play invites audiences into the life of Lisa and her activist mother through a series of flashbacks and candid asides. As the narrative unfolds, it delves into the complexities of caregiving, the messiness of memory, and the surprising ways we define what it means to be “well.” Thought-provoking and unconventional, Well is a theatrical experience you won’t forget!
