Columbia County - Fortune Cookies

Join our effort to raise awareness and fight the stigma of memory loss. This LIVE Remember Project event for the Columbia County region is part of our live tour. Watch the short play "Fortune Cookies," and participate in the Dementia-Friendly Communities movement. Learn about local resources and meet with others who are interested in learning more while supporting those who live with dementia.

Mona, played by Sherry Pearce, has a great idea! This vibrant octogenarian is determined to be the first to know if her recall is slipping beyond what can be considered normal, age-related memory loss. An unexpected visit from her son David, played by Darrell Johnston, reveals that she has cooked up a way to help herself and others be on the lookout for the early stages of dementia.

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.
