A concert performance of The Father Who Stayed featuring the songs and music of Jeremy Schonfeld and additional text by Rinde Eckert. Following the tragic death of his young daughter Emily Rose, Theseus is left lost and alone in the empty void of their old home. As Theseus re-ignites the magic of the bedtime storytelling ritual they used to share, the house fills with the ghosts of past occupants sharing stories of those who lived and died within its walls. The Father Who Stayed is a musical journey of everyday life, death, and the afterlife in America.
