Alan Benditt, Pal Bernstein, and Rachael Richman will star in Barbara Wiechmann’s Aunt Leaf, to run January 7-24 at HERE Arts Center, part of the organization’s StartHERE: Innovative Theater for Young People series. Jeffrey Mousseau will direction the production.

Inspired by two poems by Mary Oliver, the play, from the creator of Disney’s Naturally Sadie, is the story of a century old haunting and a young girl who unravels the dark tale of her elderly Aunt’s past through a nightly visitation.

The creative team for the multimedia production includes Robert Flynt (projection design), Sarah Edkins (scenic design), Amelia Dombrowski (costume design), Ayumi “Poe” Segusa (lighting design), and J.Hagenbuckle (sound design and original music).
