DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

"When Cayden Came” is an autobiographical one-woman show about building a family when you lose a child.

​While Mama shuffles through pregnancy, two-year-old Elena is very busy preparing for the biggest change of her life: the arrival of her baby brother! But neither Mama nor Elena could prepare for the biggest change of all - life after loss. Join our heroines as they adjust to their new reality and take you on a journey through survival, grief, growing up, potties, bubble bazookas, and hope.

Warning: this play contains themes of infant loss
