ECHO’S INFERNO by Juliet Kang Huneke

April 22 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

It’s 1884, and Echo really doesn’t get along with her brothers. Or anyone. Then, the devil offers her a chance to skip forward and start over. Will she take it? Will it matter? With biting humor and irreverent logic, ECHO’S INFERNO explores girlhood, rage, ambition, and connection.
