In the pursuit of joy, does method matter? Two siblings–opposites and estranged–take one last shot at putting grief behind them to create the joy they both seek. But their daring project can only succeed if they can accept each other’s special magic. A world premiere original play by Chicago playwright Kimberly Dixon-Mays, Rabbits in Their Pockets began in Lifeline’s 2024 BIPOC Developmental Workshop.
