Inspired by the loss of his mother, Vernell Miller, and his longtime mentor, theater icon Laurie Carlos, And She Was Loved is a deeply personal journey through grief, memory, and emotional abuse that ultimately transforms into a testament of resilience, healing, and the enduring power of love.
Blending the mythology of Peter Pan with hip-hop theater, jazz aesthetics, movement, and gesture language, this powerful new work explores the bitter, the sweet, the love that remains after loss—and the hope that never leaves us.
