These Old Shoes
February 3-19, 2023
Inspired by stories from the ensemble's own families, These Old Shoes investigates the richness that comes with a lifetime of memory and experience. Surrounded by moving boxes and a grandfather clock, an old man is learning to say goodbye as the time approaches to leave his life-long home for a "retirement community." Brimming with humor and heart, this story of second chances follows the breadcrumb trail of memory in hopes of finding something that once was lost.
Conceived and Directed by Diogo Lopes

Featuring: Heather Bunch, Chasya Hill, Peytie McCandless, Derek Miller, Eric Nelson, Adelin Phelps, Allison Vincent, Leslie Vincent (understudy)

“This was my first experience with Transatlantic Love Affair, and I’ll have to say I’ve been missing out. What they could do with a blank stage, no props, and using only their bodies, voices, and music transcends the audience into the world they create.”
