About This Show

Mother vs. daughter, East vs. West, a painful childhood vs. an unexpected second chance. Napua Davoy’s The Brighter Side of Alzheimer’s is a complex and uplifting musical autobiography that distills her family’s turbulent history into a potent evening of theater. The story of a daughter forced to reevaluate her contentious relationship with her mother is movingly told through monologue, movement and haunting original compositions that range from Blues to Opera. An established recording and concert artist, Ms.Davoy possesses a command of the stage as a performer/playwright/composer that moves audiences to tears.
