Say My Name

Janine finds an old picture of her late brother while moving her dying mother, Grandma Ola, into her home. Neither she nor her mother has said his name since his death. Perry, she whispers. Every utterance of his name breathes life. The last week of summer vacation will never be the same, as Janine's kids, Cholly and Sammie, meet an unexpected guest and push their family to embrace the unspoken memories and forgotten shame lingering in the shadows. Say My Name is a haunting, funny, and tender play about the silences we inherit and what it takes for three generations to finally speak.
