Catawba College’s Blue Masque Presents Jennifer Haley’s Breadcrumbs

Published: 
A reclusive fiction writer diagnosed with dementia must depend upon a troubled young caretaker to complete her autobiography. In a symbiotic battle of wills, they delve into the dark woods of the past, unearthing a tragedy that shatters their notions of language, loneliness, and essential self.

Student director and junior Ila Deese describes Breadcrumbs as “...an exploration of a woman trying to hold onto her memories while her personal identity and the world around her seem to fade away. This show will keep you guessing, like Alida, what is real and which stories should be told and which should be left behind.”
