About Rabbit Hole
Becca and Howie Corbett have a picture-perfect family life in the suburbs of New York until a sudden, tragic car accident takes the life of their four-year old son, Danny. Becca and Howie are desperately trying to pick up the shattered pieces of their hearts, but are finding it hard to grieve together. Soon after, Becca’s younger, irresponsible sister, Izzy, announces that she is pregnant: there will now be a new child in the family. Becca’s mother, Nat, badgers Becca about her grieving process as Becca and Howie continue to grow apart. Their story takes a turn when the presence of a teenage boy complicates their grieving process further. The group is on a bumpy road to healing with no road map in sight. Rabbit Hole
delves into the complexity of a family navigating deep grief in various ways, and learning together what it means to continue living even when your heart is breaking.
About Good Grief
About Good Grief's Expressions Summer Camp
Grief Expressions Summer Camp is a full immersion experience that brings together kids who have experienced the death of someone important in their life. By bringing together children and teens with similar experiences, camp creates a community of kids who understand and support one another.
The camp provides kid with the unique opportunity to tap into their creativity and imagination in a safe environment that encourages true self-expression. Throughout the week, campers explore a variety of arts while developing skills, inspiring confidence and having fun!
The money that Theatre Fairfield collects from at door donations and ticket-sales from Rabbit Hole will be gifted to the Grief Expressions Summer Camp. As a company, we strongly believe that giving any individual, especially children, the chance to express themselves and their grief through art is incredibly important and we want to make sure that all grieving kids can continue to heal in a loving, supportive environment.
The Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation
Created to honor the life of a spirited artist, the Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation supports young artists in the pursuit of their artistic visions. Sharing in Jamie's passion for creation, these local beneficiaries are able to experience, firsthand, the countless opportunities the arts can offer.
Each year, advanced theatre students are given the opportunity to apply for a grant from the Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation to produce an entirely student-run production at the start of the Spring semester. Upon approval from both the theatre faculty and the Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation Board of Directors, students are able to put the lessons they have been taught to create a full work of theatre on their own. The project teaches students to put their production experience into action, free to problem-solve, and collaborate amongst their peers.
