Family Weekend

A reading of “Family Weekend” written by Jake Brasch and directed by GT Upchurch, as part of Bigvision's Reading Series, showcasing new work that challenges stigma and expands the conversation around addiction and recovery. It’s Family Weekend at Rocky Mountain Joy: a men’s substance abuse rehab in Colorado. Family members of addicts have gathered for communal living and group therapy. With the help of an eccentric Al-Anon old-timer, an under-qualified counselor, and a pesky wild elk, they consider what, if anything, they can do to help their family members get sober. “Family Weekend” is a dark comedy about codependency and the complexities of loving an addict.
