BALSA WOOD

Part of the Spirit and Place Festival, Balsa Wood follows Robin who is on the road away from rather than toward anything, and finds refuge in the home of Carrie, an iconoclast with an open heart and an open door, who provides a place—without judgment—for human strays.

Your contribution today supports local actors and the tech team making this event happen. We believe in producing genuine work that connects with a wide audience, while compensating the artists who bring it to life. Help us keep our local arts culture thriving.

Balsa Wood is intimately staged for a limited number of audience members at each performance, Balsa Wood centers on characters struggling with their pasts and finding connection with those who, on the surface, are different from themselves. Yes, it has intense moments, but it also has humor and provides a chance to see through the surfaces of those who seem unfamiliar.

In a post-performance discussion, audience members are invited to become part of an open discussion about unspoken gratitude and people they’ve known or witnessed who have done something for others without expectation or acknowledgement. Purchase single tickets here.

This play is produced in partnership between Indy Convergence and Lou Harry. Indy Convergence had the pleasure of working with Lou, and the play's lead actor, Dena Toler, at our 2022 artist residency. We always strive to maintain connections with our alumni and are honored to work with Lou to bring this show to life in our neighborhood. To learn more about our programs please visit our website.
