About this event
VC
Uarts Department of Theatre and Dance’s production of Duncan Macmillan’s People, Places and Things is a visceral exploration of identity, recovery, and the terrifying honesty required to begin again.
Emma’s life as an actor and human being has spun out of control. In rehab, she must confront her addiction, dismantle the stories she tells about herself, and decide whether she is willing to live without the substances that have helped her perform—both onstage and off.
Performances are November 12–15, 2026 at the W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts (922 Park Ave, Richmond, VA 23284).
