About this event
Join our effort to raise awareness and fight the stigma of memory loss. This live Remember Project event for the Columbia County, WI region is part of our Summer 2023 tour. Watch the short play "Steering into the Skid," participate in the Dementia-Friendly Communities movement, learn about resources throughout Columbia County, and meet with others who are interested in learning more while supporting those who live with dementia.
Danette McCarthy plays Amanda and Jim Pounds as Tim in this short play that follows the story of a loving couple's journey with memory loss over the course of a year. Twelve short scenes, one for each month of the year, help audiences connect with the subtle changes that impact Tim and Amanda starting and ending on New Year's Eve.

The Remember Project is a program of Trellis. The creation of The Remember Project theatrical videos was made possible by a 2020-21 by an Arts Tour Minnesota grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, an activity made possible by the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
