HELP ME TO MAKE IT

HELP ME TO MAKE IT weaves together stories about several generations struggling from inside the architecture of contemporary families. As questions arise about fidelity, sexuality, gender, and the myths created to help us comprehend it all, the characters try to make sense of themselves and of familial love. These stories hinge on how personal moments of everyday existence add up to lifetimes of monumental compassion, devastating betrayal, and inevitable transformation.

CollaborationTown creates ensemble-driven pieces of theater that defy expectations of how stories can be told in the theater. Productions include The Deepest Play Ever: The Catharsis of Pathos, The Play About My Dad and The Momentum. They have won multiple FringeNYC and NYIT Awards, including Best Ensemble. They have had residencies at Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center and with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and are currently in residence at New Ohio Theatre and IRT as part of their Archive Alliance Residency.
