WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two-time Golden Globe winner, Academy Award and Tony Award nominee Kathleen Turner will be joined by Tony Award nominee Michael Berresse, and rising newcomer Evan Jonigkeit, in the world premiere of Matthew Lombardo's new play, High.
When Sister Jamison Connelly, played by Kathleen Turner, agrees to sponsor a 19 year-old drug-user in an effort to help him combat his addiction, her own faith is ultimately tested. Struggling between the knowledge she possesses as a rehabilitation counselor and her own moral convictions, she begins to question the belief in miracles and whether people can find the courage to change. High explores the universal themes of truth, forgiveness, redemption and human fallibility.

High, now premiering at TheaterWorks in Hartford (and due to be reprised by co-producers Cincinnati Playhouse and Repertory Theatre of St. Louis later this season).
