The Play Company Performance
In July 2021, we hosted The Play Company’s fifth installment of writer and director William Burke's IS IT SUPPOSED TO LAST? At a time when our isolation and uncertain futures amplify the need to care for ourselves and try to care for others, the series explored the question "What happens when the nurturers are unable to nurture the people who need them?"
For the first time, the series’ final performance allowed for an in-person audience to experience the work. Carroll Hall was thrilled to host this live performance.

IS IT SUPPOSED TO LAST? is a meditation on when the fun gets spoiled and the nurturing gets toxic. Writer, director, actor William Burke wrapped himself in streamers and asked "What happens when we can't take care of you?"
