Stronger Than a Séance: Resurrecting Jerry Garcia

In an effort to combine the two, discover how the unconventional life of a legend informs the immersive and offbeat process. Meet his daughter, Trixie, who will share the personal story of how this project honored her father's memory in ways Jerry himself, would have loved. Leave with an altered perspective of what’s possible.
