The Nowak family is living amidst the urban rubble of Buffalo, NY’s East Side. The neighborhood may be depressed, but not Clara, the family matriarch. She happily runs her soup kitchen and tends to the family heirloom - a twenty-foot shrine to the Blessed Mother. This neighborhood beacon of faith commemorates the day in 1942 when the Blessed Virgin Mary materialized in her father’s barbershop. Daughter Ruth intends to create a one-woman play about the sacred event, but the entire family’s faith is shaken to the core when a deathbed confession causes the family legend to unravel.

The Beckwith Theatre is located at 100 New York Ave, Dowagiac, MI

The Suicide Prevention Center invites Survivors ages 16 and up to join others around the world who have lost a loved one to suicide. We gather to share stories, find comfort, and gain insight into healing. The event features a short film from AFSP, small group discussion, and the keynote “Resilience after Loss” from Anne Black, R.N. Anne lost her son, Major (Ret.) Gregory T. Black at the age of 36. She will share how understanding resilience, both as a mom and a nurse, has helped her cope with her son’s complicated and heartbreaking loss. The event meets at a church but is not religiously-based. All are welcome.
