Join our effort to raise awareness and fight the stigma of memory loss. This virtual Remember Project event for the St. Croix Falls area is part of our Spring 2021 tour. Watch the short play “In the Garden,” and participate in the Dementia-Friendly Communities movement, learn about resources in the St. Croix Falls community, and meet with others who are interested in learning more while supporting those who live with dementia.

Jim Pounds plays Arthur Monsetin in this one act play that explores the role adult children play in the sometimes difficult decision-making process that surrounds the journey of memory loss. The roles Karen, Peter, and Jamie Monsetin are performed by Megan Hanks, Jason Richards, and Mark Benzel.
