Thank you so much for coming to see this memorable, sweet and love filled show. Thank you, Sarah Rasmussen for her deft direction, and the amazing cast — Christina, Randy, Pogi, Yeshi and Tsering for making Tenzin playful and fully alive on stage. Good night Tenzin, rest well. I already miss you.

A moving and delightful exploration of love and letting go by one of today’s most celebrated playwrights. The story centers around an American mother whose young son is believed to be the reincarnation of a high Buddhist Lama. When Tibetan monks arrive unexpectedly, asking to bring her child to India for a life of spiritual training in India, she and her Tibetan husband must make a life-altering choice that will test their faith and their hearts.
“An emotional tsunami,
an extraordinary story from a
singular voice in American theater”
