This powerful new piece from playwright Clay McLeod Chapman was originally commissioned by Company of Fools. Chapman has catapulted front and center into the American theatre scene, having written the book for the musical HOSTAGE SONG with Obie-award winning Kyle Jarrow and writing the book for the new musical SCKBSTD with Grammy-winner Bruce Hornsby.

In COMMENCEMENT, one actress plays three women drawn together in the aftermath of a high school shooting – the mother of the shooter, one of the shooters victims, and the mother of that victim. The play is a deep exploration of the lives of three women that, according to SEE Magazine “…will leave you wringing your hands in helpless empathy.”

COMMENCEMENT will be performed for school matinees on November 3 and 4
and for the public at the Liberty on Friday November 4.
There will be a special invited performance at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts on Saturday November 5

Our Sponsors for Commencement are:
