Authors Theatre: "The Drop Off", a play about the challenges of Alzheimer's and family

James Anthony Tyler's heartfelt and moving story of a mother/daughter relationship overcoming the challenges of Alzheimer's, aging, and the past.

At Deer Lakes Assisted Living Facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, Allain drops off her mother Delphina who has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. When Delphina refuses to stay at the facility, memories of loss, dreams broken and an impending eviction come to the surface in a way that may break this mother and daughter bond forever.

The director of the staged reading will be Joe Cacaci. The reading of this work will feature UAlbany students, working alongside professional actors, and include a conversation with the artists following the staged reading.
