Mona, played by Sherry Pearce, has a great idea! This vibrant octogenerian is determined to be the first to know if her recall is slipping beyond what can be considered normal, age-related memory loss.

The Remember Project is a program of Trellis. The creation of The Remember Project theatrical videos was made possible by a 2020-21 by an Arts Tour Minnesota grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, an activity made possible by the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
