Jakob G. Hofmann’s A PERSISTENT MEMORY travels from Uganda to Greenwich CT, Manhattan, and Tennessee as David (Drew Ledbetter) investigates what is happening to the world’s elephant population. He carries with him, as we all do, tragedies and triumphs along with childhood memories, significant moments, and an unknown future. As his memories slip away, both a curse and a blessing, he encounters a variety of characters that impact his life in different ways. This fine ensemble includes Lisa Bostnar, Ariel Estrada, Richard Prioleau, Victoria Vance, and Claire Warden.

A PERSISTENT MEMORY is an intense look at the ambiguity of life, the possibility of change, and the resilience of the human spirit. In no particular order we accompany David on his life journey during 13 months following a disastrous event. It’s an individualistic and sometimes dark path enhanced with sparse scenic design by Parris Bradley, original music by Miles Polaski, and eerie lighting by Greg Solomon. And the lesson to be remembered? Although we all grieve differently, we are all connected and that includes the elephants.
