To Free a Mockingbird

To Free a Mockingbird is Grace Aki’s one-woman play combining the vulnerability of her storytelling with the wit of stand-up comedy. Similar to her longform podcast episode about “Her Story,” as well as her art gallery, To Free a Mockingbird seeks to process and share a raw-but-real story of intergenerational trauma so that it may resonate with others. Following Aki’s family “across the sea and through the south with family secrets and lessons on how stories get told,” Aki’s upcoming play expresses that “this is her story, and maybe yours as well.”
