about the show!

Forgiven/Forgotten follows the varying responses of a community that learns an ex-offender will be serving his parole in their midst. This emotionally driven piece addresses issues of crime, reintegration, and our responses to those affected by these themes most. We are hoping to spread awareness about this issue, as well as enable audience members with resources and approaches for navigating difficult conversations about forgiveness, justice, and community.

Under the direction of Erin Brandenburg, with audio design by Andrew Penner, visual animation design by Ali Carroll, and an incredible cast including Frank Cox-O’Connell, PJ Prudat, Peter Fernandes, Christina Leonard, and Zach Parsons, this audio-visual telling of this remarkable story will be unlike anything you’ve ever heard or seen at the theatre!
