About the Show
“there’s a mystical and ever-moving line that solo shows sometimes cross into the realm of other worldliness and soul changing. I have seen probably thousands of solo shows and very few cross that line… Homecoming did, almost as soon as the show began.” – NoHo Arts District
Dara gets the call that her mom is dying while studying abroad in Australia, and their already complicated mother-daughter relationship suddenly becomes a lot more complicated. On a winding path full of humor, absurdity, and connection, Dara faces the impossible question: How to make amends with a dead mom? What she discovers is deeply personal, universal, and surprisingly hopeful. Just because someone is gone, it doesn’t mean you can’t heal your relationship with them.
Homecoming, nominated for Comedic Theatre at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival, is a dark comedy about grief and identity. Moth StorySLAM winner Dara Kosberg shares her journey of losing a parent and finding herself.
So please, laugh, cry, or just sit there silently questioning your own life choices.
Directed by David Ford, Artist-in-Residence at The Marsh, with original direction by Iris Bahr (NYC debut) and David Crabb (LA debut).
