Sunday, 4/20: The Dead Girls of the Friends' House of Mercy by Isabelle Estelle, 11AM CST
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89296216112?pwd=8WPIG2McDTlwuTSbaWxUssNgAL2RtF.1

After the unexpected death of her moms just a few months after her 18th birthday, Lydia is the new owner of her family business and childhood home: the Historic Friends' House of Mercy. The house, formerly a home for fallen girls, is now a haunted site hosting ghost tours, investigations, and paranormal overnight stays for professional and amateur ghost hunting enthusiasts alike; a business that the resident ghosts have mixed feelings about. When a reality TV show descends on their home, the girls of the House of Mercy - both living and dead - struggle in the only ways they know how to understand what it means to grow up too fast, the intersection between childhood and motherhood, and facing the grief of a future you should have received.

Tonight is their Industry Night performance and a fundraiser for the incredible Denver Actors Fund; and the show also runs through September 15th!

(Pro tip: John Hauser is starring in SoR and for those of you who have followed Benchmark for awhile you'll know John has been an integral member of the Benchmark Team - we're so stoked to see him rockin' out up in Golden!)

Benchmark Theatre is on a break but there is plenty of incredible art living and breathing locally this summer and giving your time and money to another independent, woman-owned arts organization is a positive way to contribute to the community.
