Sod House Theater is excited to present a playful and impactful new theater piece that addresses the need for awareness around Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. This piece follows the lives of Don and Myrna, an aging, inter-racial couple who uses their imagination to cope and adapt as Myrna begins to experience symptoms of dementia. Using their imagination Don and Myrna take fantastical vacations to locations all over the world until the lines between reality and imagination begin to blur. This whimsical and compassionate hour-long piece thoughtfully provides insights on the impact of dementia. In addition to the touching and humorous piece, Sod House Theater is partnering with Adenike Ademola, Master of Social Work, who is present at performances to offer knowledge and resources about the aging population, caregiving and dementia with materials for awareness and screening resources after the production.

Want to gorge yourself on some serviceberries and chat about gift economies? The serviceberry trees on the boulevard along 20th Avenue *should* be ripe and ready for eating by next week! Stop by any time between Noon and 2:00 pm to chat about gift economies or just hang out and get juiced up on berries. Please feel free to invite friends and fam!
You can get a copy of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book about serviceberries, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World (https://birchbarkbooks.com/products/the-serviceberry) or read the essay that it is based on in Emergence Magazine, https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-serviceberry/.
Email or Google Chat Jenean Gilmer (gilmerje@augsburg.edu) with questions or concerns.
If it’s raining we’ll hang out in Hagfors where there is seating near the back door (that leads to the community garden). Bring vessels for your serviceberries!
