Family Fest: I'm Going to Go Back There Someday

The Theater and Dance Department presents two student-led productions as part of this year's Family Fest.

Admission is free, no reservation required. All performances are 30 minutes, in Huber-Seikaly Theater, lower level of the Theater and Dance Building. Doors open 15 minutes before each performance.

I’m Going to Go Back There Someday by Asher de Forest ’21 is a comedy about grief. Garry (Kiran Arquin), a young man grieving his father’s recent passing, embarks on a road trip to meet his sperm donor. Garry is accompanied by his younger sister Rachel (Ruby Rich), his girlfriend Joni (Kalala Kiwanuka-Woernle), and his best friend and ex-boyfriend Mohammed (Ndunzi Kunsunga), each navigating relationships, grief, and the road. Interspersed with this narrative are scenes from Mohammed’s in-progress graphic novel, in which Pinocchio (Jennings Mergenthal), the biblical Jonah (Rachel Warshaw), and Kipling’s shipwrecked mariner (Jesse Claire) kibitz inside the belly of a whale.
