Take a look

Dad has to play soon. His band is already waiting. The fans too. But why is his roadie suddenly calling him "Dad"? And where did his guitar go?

A musical monologue about getting lost in your head

In "Pa," Eric Corton plays a father who slowly loses his grip on reality. He thinks he's on tour. What follows is a heartbreaking, witty, and at times painfully relatable account of dementia.

Based on true stories
