Screening: "Last Pyramid" and Q&A with Samantha Macher and Dave Schachter

Following her son Kevin’s epilepsy-related death in 2001, Patricia Barnes thought her life was over. Then one day, she awoke with the urge to create a series of stained glass pyramids never having made one before. Thirteen years and&nbsp;20 pyramids later, Trish has decided to complete the final piece and move forward from her loss. A story of healing through creation, <em>Last Pyramid</em> chronicles Trish’s journey from tragedy to triumph as she finishes her final tribute to the life of her child. The film’s crew includes Samantha Macher (writer/producer), one of our M.F.A. playwrights who has returned this summer to teach, and Dave Schachter (director/producer) joins us as a guest artist and will be directing in Overnight Sensations. Both will take part in a talk back after the screening of this film, which won Film of the Year at the NoVa Film Festival this year. Sponsored by the Summer 2015 Playwright’s Lab at Hollins.
