Synopsis of the play:

On a trip to the supermarket, an encounter with a distant relative spins Jack back to one of the most traumatic experiences of his life. In just one breath, the bread aisle suddenly transforms into a landscape of memories where Jack has no choice but to confront his past.  But will Jack be able to hold his ground? Holding Ground is a play about Domestic violence, resilience, and hope.

Performance time: 45-50 minutes long.
