Everyone dies but nobody talks about it. A Comedy Show about grief from Michael Cruz Kayne.

Why'd We Book It?

Sorry For Your Loss was one of the very first shows we presented here, and we were it's first show outside of New York. Those who saw it haven't stopped talking about it since, a powerful (and funny!) personal piece of theater that sticks with you.

Since that small initial show here, it's gone on to play an extended Off Broadway run in New York and be nominated several major awards. So imagine how thrilled we are to have the rare opportuntity to welcome it BACK for an encore presention - a stripped down and more intimate version of a deeply wonderful show.
