Bev and Blanche’s Care-a-Van

Meet Bev and Blanche, “The Rough Draft Sisters”—two quirky, codependent, unfinished marionette twins navigating ongoing mental health journeys.

During this roaming pop-up show, Bev and Blanche explore feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and grief while offering mindfulness, levity, and connection. Can you find their Care-a-van? What nuggets of wisdom will they have in store for you?
