The In-Between

In this dramatic play about finding hope in the depths of depression, follow Diane through The In-Between, a magical forest where spirits and creatures fight for her life and death. In a maze of memories and fantasy, Diane’s search for the way out leads to the gift of life itself.

The In-Between is is the debut show of new theatre company, Ruach Creations.

Embodying the company's values of serving the community, they’ve endeavored to create an impactful show that talks sincerely about depression and suicide while delivering a message of profound love and hope.

“I wrote this play because so much still needs to be said about depression and suicide. Having fought with it for years, I wanted to write something that framed these struggles in fantasy and points towards the hope that’s right around the corner.”

- Jonathan O’Drowsky

"What better way to convey the complexity of self destruction and realization than communication through full-bodied movement? In her search for truth, conflict is strewn through Diane’s very veins. How do you find the will to live when confronted with the worst parts of yourself? Can Diane realize the true catalyst of change is self-love? Even the darkest night gives way to the brightest morning…In a cathartic expression, join Diane as she searches for the truth."
