November 2nd-4th 2017 at 7:30pm

Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois

Synopsis: Eric and Elliot is the story of a family’s journey toward healing following a devastating suicide. The title characters are brothers who must find help for their severely depressed mother. As they walk to the family doctor’s office the brothers lose their way. They find themselves in a strange new place where they encounter a woman obsessed with the past, a man focused on the future, and another woman trying desperately to ignore both. These three characters all insist that the boys must follow them in order to find their way again. Eventually, Elliot convinces Eric that only through facing their past can they truly find their way. It is only after the play that the audience will recognize the clues given throughout. The play educates the audience about the warning signs of depression and the importance of seeking help. Teen depression is treatable. Told with gentle humor and fantasy, Eric and Elliot is a story of hope.
