VISITING ARTIST!

Susan has a perfect life, a perfect love, and perfect happiness. After an unexpected loss, it all ends. She can't imagine any future worth living. Until, on an ordinary trip to the grocery store, she hears A Voice telling her to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain. With only her pack and her pain, Susan begins a journey through unrelenting rain and temperatures that rarely get above 50 degrees. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides, Susan faces her past and  creates her future. Alone on stage, she becomes 23 characters to take the audience on her solitary walk through 540 miles of rain, resentment, and redemption. Buen Camino is a moving story about grief leading to surrender, and ultimately to freedom. Written & Performed by Susan Edsall.
