A group of aging folks of color are on the verge of turning 40. They are angry and bitter and regretful of the decisions they made in the past. They revisit their motivations, heal themselves and reconnect with their new selves. Written by SF native, Lambda Literary Award finalist Kheven LaGrone, 'Group Therapy' is about aging, healing, and connecting as queer human beings of color.
Supported by the Zellerbach Family Foundation, and the Arts Leadership Residency, a grant program of Theatre Bay Area.
