“Encounters” stageplay reflects on Covid and Stages of Grief.
Four years ago, the world was forever changed by the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a time of great loss, with many of us mourning the deaths of loved ones.

Encounters is a heartfelt and thought-provoking production that brings the stages of grief to life through the talents of our local actors. The play takes the audience on an emotional journey of reflection and personal healing, capturing the universal experience of loss and the path to recovery.
At the helm of this extraordinary production is Regina F. Smith, a woman of many talents. Smith is a mother, administrator, author, playwright, and minister. Her passion for creative writing shines through in her work. With a renewed purpose, Smith is dedicated to telling meaningful and inspiring stories and helping others share their narratives as well.
