Award-winning actress to perform acclaimed one-woman show at URI, Feb. 10

Iris Bahr in 'See You Tomorrow' at Swan Hall Auditorium

Award-winning writer, actor, director, producer, and podcast host, Iris Bahr will perform her one-woman show, “See You Tomorrow,” followed by a question and answer session on Monday, Feb. 10, at 7 p.m. in URI’s Swan Hall Auditorium, 60 Upper College Road, Kingston. 

“See You Tomorrow” tells the autobiographical story of how Bahr, while video chatting with her mother thousands of miles away, saw her mother having a stroke. 

Navigating a life and death situation, Bahr relocates across the globe from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv practically overnight. Straddling cultures, generations, and an ocean, “See You Tomorrow” is a surprising, funny and poignant story about family, caregiving, guilt, and what happens when memory and one’s history dissolve in an instant.

With over 50 television and film credits to her name including roles on “Friends” and “Hacks,” Bahr is best known for her recurring role on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and her series “Svetlana.”

Her debut solo show “DAI” won the Lortel Award and received two Drama Desk nominations. 

The performance is free and open to the public. Reservations may be made online or via URInvolved.

Bahr’s visit is sponsored by URI Hillel and the URI Theatre Department with financial support from URI Health Services; Community, Equity, and Diversity; Gender and Women’s Studies; Congregation Beth David of Narragansett; the Women’s Alliance Endowment and the Collaborative Grants program of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island. Additional support comes from the Department of Human Development and Family Studies, and the Women’s Center.
