Simona’s Search

January 18 – February 11, 2024

By Martín Zimmerman
Directed by Melia Bensussen
Janet S. Suisman Artistic Director

The past is always present.

Simona’s father is an enigma. Curious about his life in Latin America before moving to the United States, Simona obsesses over his secrets as her thoughts and dreams become haunted by the mystery that is his past. Simona’s Search is a riveting exploration of the bond between fathers and daughters, love and sacrifice, nature and nurture. From one of the writers and producers of Netflix’s Ozark comes this gripping world premiere.

RUN TIME:
Approximately 90 minutes with no intermission and contains a haze effect.
