The Best We Could (A Family Tragedy)
A Contemporary Dramedy by Emily Feldman
- Tuesday, 3/2/2027, at 7:00pm
A daughter agrees to accompany her father on a road trip to adopt a rescue dog, only to find that the miles ahead force them to confront the ones behind. The Best We Could is a tender, sharply observed, and often humorous drama about family, memory, and the truths that surface when there’s nowhere left to hide. A moving, contemporary story about the distance between who we were and who we’re becoming.
