Description: When Laura lost her best friend, Jordan weeks before the world shut down in January of 2020, she wasn’t sure how she would cope. Discovering Jordan left over 700 pages of plays and live arts scripts, she did the only thing she knew, create his last show. Laura Anne Harris is a multi-award winning solo performer and playwright whose work has been seen around the world including Bangkok, Toronto, New York, and Cincinnati. Laura is delighted to perform her newest solo work as a reading for the 2024 Fertile Ground Festival.
