Feb. 07
During a parent–teacher conference that spirals far beyond schoolwork, a grieving mother and a shaken elementary school teacher confront the devastating fallout of a student’s death.
The result is a raw, unsettling collision of grief, culpability, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive the unthinkable.
Surround Project Play Dates kick off 2026 with four contemporary American plays never before seen in San Antonio. We’re starting with Gidion’s Knot by Johnna Adams, featuring Eva Laporte and Catherine Babbitt.
We have about 60 tickets available, and we’re offering early access to YOU!
Public ticket sales open in TWO DAYS.
