Collaborative Artists Ensemble is proud to present the West Coast Premiere of Unraveled by acclaimed playwright Jennifer Blackmer.

Directed by Steve Jarrard.

In Unraveled, Joy is a professor of physics and philosophy, who has spent her life exploring theories of space and time. None of that has prepared her for the reality of watching cancer unravel her mother’s mind and body. As the hard work of care-taking begins to take its toll, she hires Anna, a hospice nurse, to help her mother. But when the rules of space and time no longer provide Joy the answers she needs, can Anna’s simple lessons of how to care for another person help Joy knit the pieces of her life together again?

Playing Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 7 p.m.

Starring Carolyn Crotty, Drew Lee Davis-Wheeler,  Kathy Bell Denton, Jake Jensen, Heidi Shon and Meg Wallace.

Jennifer Blackmer serves as Professor of Theatre and Executive Director of the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry at Ball State University.
