An autobiography honoring the playwright’s grandmother, “Brighter Than the Sun” serves as a vessel for healing, mourning, growth, and reflection on those individuals in our lives who lived modestly and beautifully, but whose stories may fade with time. This expanded production after the New York Theater Festival production included new material such as Myrtice’s “Story of A Girl” and Howard’s heart-wrenching “For Sis”.
