Crossing the Veil and Coming Back to Life

The piece is a new work conceived by Robert Cornett and directed by Ted Pugh.

An ensemble theater piece based on true stories of people who have reported near death experiences. The stories follow a travel journey narrative, starting with the “moment of death” when the characters have been declared clinically dead or experienced a medical crisis that brought them to the edge of death. This leads to a crossing of the veil between life and death and profound experiences and visions of life in the post-mortem realms. The journey concludes with a return to physical life and the challenges of sharing the experience with others and integrating it into their lives. The piece is a new work conceived by Robert Cornett and directed by Ted Pugh.
