You in Mid Air

Good Grief with Cheryl Jones

Danna Schaeffer's life was good. She and her husband were happy with their work, and especially happy about the rising stardom of their daughter, Rebecca. But their world fell apart when their daughter was murdered by a stalker. It would be many years before Danna, a playwright, would create You in Mid Air, and play about loving, and losing Rebecca. Described as both honest, poignant and funny, Danna's play captures both the grief and continued life of her relationship with the daughter she lost. It also illustrates how loss brings things we never expected into our lives. Rebecca was the actor, not her mother. But here is Danna in a one woman show, the only way she could imagine telling their story.
