“I first saw the Grief Dialogs at an Honoring Choices event. I thoroughly enjoyed the plays. The clever, intelligent script and entertaining performances were a great way to convey a serious and often difficult message. Actually, I was so impressed I asked Elizabeth to develop a production for my organization’s upcoming conference.”

"I feel so fortunate that you came to see me many months ago to discuss collaborating on the Health Care Version of Grief Dialogues. What a gift you are bringing to so many people and giving this topic a new forum — starting a conversations the medical community so desperately needs to be having. I know it is hard to work with a bunch of busy health care people and I really appreciate your leadership and determination to see this through."

Grief Dialogues created a unique “choose your own adventure” play for Honoring Choices PNW. They were a pleasure to work with and created an amazing product. The process was collaborative and iterative, and Grief Dialogues was very responsive to the unique considerations of our audience in writing the content. The play was received very well when performed live. We highly recommend them!

"The Grief Dialogues expertly take life’s meaningful moments and showcases them in a way to reveal the honesty, vulnerability, and even comedy in situations involving death, dying and grief.

Brilliantly written and performed with compassion, The Grief Dialogues are a treasure not to be missed!"

Grief Dialogues is the essence of what Reimagine believes is required to transform cultural attitudes and experiences around dying, grieving, and living. Creative, experiential opportunities place issues around these challenging themes into the heart, which is where they must be centered. It’s about love. Too often, we try to approach grief and death like a problem to solve or like sterile, logistical exercises, when really they are some of the most human, powerful parts of life. Reimagine is proud to feature Grief Dialogues whenever we can. It also helps that the woman behind it, Elizabeth Coplan, is one of the most inspiring, heart-centered leaders around.

"I know entertainment has its place — it’s apparently the most nonessential job in the country right now — but the real power of theater is it’s also a clinic and a pulpit. We cannot abandon the responsibility of the theater in favor of commerce and capitalism; we can’t turn over all of our Broadway houses to movie musicals, however fantastic they may be. If we don’t give audiences a place for their catharsis and healing in the theater, they will work it out in real life in ways that can have real detrimental effects on us as a society."
