PLAYS WE LOVE: This Is How We Got Here
By Keith Barker
“This is How We Got Here is a stunning, deeply compassionate play about grief, love, and the way we carry loss. Following a family navigating the aftermath of tragedy, the story unfolds with poetic language, gentle humor, and moments of magic that feel both raw and healing. What I love most is how Barker portrays the complexity of grief—not as something to be solved but as something that ebbs and flows, shaping relationships in unexpected ways. The play doesn’t offer easy answers, but it makes space for healing in a way that feels deeply human.”
