Delphine Horvilleur recounts eleven stories of loss, mourning, and consolation, collected during years spent caring for the dying and their loved ones. Horvilleur writes about death with intelligence, humour, and compassion.

Lisa Kron invites her audience on a roller coaster ride through the Kron family album in 2.5 Minute Ride.

Kron's' performance switches back and forth between her journey to Auschwitz with her septuagenarian father, a Holocaust survivor; her Michigan family's annual pilgrimage to a Sandusky, Ohio amusement park, and more.
