DIFFERENT WORDS FOR HAPPINESS 

October 18 – November 15
By Katie Kleiger
Directed by Laura Kepley

World premiere from a Resident Company Member

Discover a stirring and intimate exploration of the human heart in a profound new work written by Everyman Theatre Resident Company Member Katie Kleiger. When a late-night phone call from an ex-lover forces Ava to confront the ghosts of her past, it leads her to meet Eleanor, a successful older woman who is grappling with her own unfulfilled dreams and a quiet midlife crisis. Together, their intertwined paths navigate the fragile terrain of blame and forgiveness, ultimately questioning their choices and discovering we all have the power within us to determine who and what brings happiness to our lives. 

Runtime: 1 hour and 40 minutes, no intermission
