Homecoming at Hollywood Fringe Festival

Hollywood Fringe Festival Debut of Homecoming!

June 7, 13, 19, 20, 28!

Dara gets the call that her mom is dying while studying abroad in Australia, and their already complicated mother-daughter relationship suddenly becomes a lot more complicated. On a winding path full of humor, absurdity, and connection, Dara faces the impossible question: How to make amends with a dead mom? What she discovers is deeply personal, universal, and surprisingly hopeful. Just because someone is gone, it doesn’t mean you can’t heal your relationship with them. 

So please, laugh, cry, or just sit there silently questioning your own life choices, which hopefully don’t involve a ridiculous number of hamburgers, like Dara’s.

Now directed by David Ford, with original direction by Iris Bahr (NYC debut) and David Crabb (LA debut).

Fresh off its NYC and LA debuts, this is what audience members are saying…

“It was a captivating portrait of the human experience in its purest form.”

“It’s rare to see something that feels so raw yet so carefully crafted.”

“Beautiful, touching show. I laughed. I cried. I thought deeply. The show masterfully touched on heavy topics, striking just the right tone.”

“Everything about the show felt straight from the heart. I left feeling special for having received her story and having lived it with her.”

“The one-woman show “Homecoming” by Dara Kosberg was a deeply moving and thought-provoking evening that skillfully explored the intersections of life, loss, and love."

“Dara is infinitely watchable, warm and compelling.”

Dara Kosberg is a storyteller, comedian, writer, and actor. She recently debuted her solo storytelling show “Homecoming” to multiple sold-out audiences at NYC’s Under St. Mark and LA’s Lyric Hyperion, as well as in Chicago and Atlanta. She’s a Moth StorySlam winner and has performed at San Francisco’s Punch Line Comedy Club and Brooklyn’s Union Hall. As part of the Reimagine End of Life arts festival in SF and NYC, she’s produced and performed in comedy shows about grief and loss that demonstrate the healing power of humor. She’s a Founding Team Member and Sr. Program Director of Reimagine.

Director David Ford has been collaborating on new and unusual theatre for three decades and has been an artist-in-residence at The Marsh Theater for most of that time. His award-winning solo shows have been seen all over the English-speaking world. The San Francisco press has variously called him “the solo performer maven”, “the monologue maestro”, “the dean of solo performance”, and “the solo performer’s best friend” and a week rarely goes by when residents of the Bay Area can not enjoy one of his productions. Collaborators include Geoff Hoyle, Brian Copeland, Lorri Holt, Charlie Varon, Echo Brown, Tom Ammiano, Firoozeh Dumas, Marilyn Pittman, Rebecca Fisher, Wayne Harris, Irma Herrer, Bill Talen, and Marga Gomez.
