A Filmed Stage Production Streaming Online Featuring an original stop-motion film by Nisha Ramnath
Synopsis Tragedy can tear families apart – or it can bring them together… really together. Stop-Motion occupies that in-between space - the space between tragedy and comedy, family drama and magical escape. Xan, who spent her 20s acting as her mother’s sole caretaker, must navigate the aftermath of a terrible accident (as well as some long-neglected family relationships). Privately, she reveals herself to us through a whimsical stop-motion film she’s been working on while contending with grief, duty, and the limits of escapism. Stop-Motion probes the idea of how an individual - and a family - can evolve in the face of tragedy and perhaps, move forward together - even if it’s one frame at a time. About the Playwright:Liz Kerin (she/her) is an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and author, who earned her degree from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Playwriting honors include The Kennedy Center, Premiere Stages at Kean, Theatricum Botanicum, The Road Theatre, FringeNYC, and Unicorn Theatre.
