Stories From the Stage

Quest

A quest does not require you to be a knight in shining armor. But you need a dream, some courage, and maybe a little luck. After fleeing Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, Zalaikha rebuilds her life in the United States; Karen makes an emotional pilgrimage to Poland to learn about her Holocaust survivor mother’s past and faith; and Meg embraces her adventurous spirit to visit her daughter, who provides unarmed protection to farmers in remote Colombia. Three storytellers and three interpretations of Quest.
