This is a rare opportunity to see a critically acclaimed live show recently performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC (January 2025) and the NYC Comedy Festival (November 2024). We are so lucky to bring this show to Brattleboro!

PRAISE for “Sorry for Your Loss”

“…absolutely gorgeous storytelling that will leave your heart both full and broken…” – Lea Salonga

“…breathtaking and funny…performed by a master writer/actor…can’t stop thinking about it…” – Gary Gulman

“…inquisitive, funny, provocative, compassionate. Emotionally, this culture doesn’t know what to do with seismic grief, but Michael Cruz Kayne does.” – Laura Collins-Hughes

Sorry for Your Loss
A comedy show about grief

Saturday, March 29, at 7 pm

Latchis Theatre

Doors open at 6:30

Michael Cruz Kayne is a comedian and writer on The Late Show with Steven Colbert. However, his life isn’t always funny. The loss of his young son profoundly changed his world and his family. In this hilarious, difficult, and touching show about grief, Cruz finds moments of humor, compassion, and ultimately some assemblance of acceptance. If everyone dies, why does nobody talk about it?

Please note: Recommended for mature audiences.

Content warning: This show discusses the loss of a child.
