Presented by Produced by Travis Williams for Art Crush LA
9/12/2026 - 9/27/2026
 Set during a 4th of July family barbecue in the aftermath of a community tragedy by one of their own, this deeply human drama explores grief, perspective, and the stories we tell about one another.
Funny, compassionate, and emotionally surprising, From the Perspective of a Canoe asks what happens when certainty gives way to understanding.
The production is directed by Brooklyn Sample and features a stellar cast, including Joe J Garcia, Ashley Hsu, Maria Kress, Mo La Blanc, James Lemire, Anastasia Rutkowski, and Elizabeth Williams.
