Siblings are our first friends and enemies. We laugh, fight, comfort and hurt each other, but they’re always there for us…until they’re not. What happens when that connection is broken, when the familial bond is lost? How do we move forward while holding on to the memory of our best friends?

These questions keep Avery up at night. Haunted by the night her heart stopped beating, she feels isolated and alone—but she’s not alone. Her brother August remains, whether she wants him to or not.

Locally created and cast, and debuting at this year’s festival, After August reminds us that letting go isn’t always easy – but it’s necessary to let ourselves heal.
