Boy
by Anna Ziegler

Oct. 7, 8, 9 and Oct. 13, 14, 15, 2022
Directed by Gabriella Ramirez

Inspired by a true story, Anna Ziegler’s Boy explores the tricky terrain of finding love amid the confusion of sexual identity, and the inextricable bond between a doctor and patient. In the 1960s, a well-intentioned doctor convinces the parents of a male infant to raise their son as a girl after a terrible accident. Two decades later, the repercussions of that choice continue to unfold. Produced in arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

Silent Sky
by Lauren Gunderson

Nov. 11, 12, 13 and 16, 17, 18, 2022
Directed by Liz Fisher

This inspiring true story traces the life of Henrietta Leavitt, a living “computer” who charted the night skies at the Harvard Observatory during the beginning of the 20th century. While society and her bosses contend that a woman doesn’t belong behind a telescope, Henrietta proves that hard work and determination can change the world. Her discoveries rewrote the science and history books, while she navigated family obligations, romantic entanglements and life’s everyday travails. Produced in arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

by Sarah Ruhl

When tragedy strikes on her wedding day, Eurydice is sent hurtling into the Underworld. In this surreal land of talking rocks and strange characters, Eurydice reunites with her dead father while her husband, Orpheus, plots to save Eurydice from the Land of the Dead. But Orpheus’ quest presents Eurydice with a tricky choice: What is home and how do you know where you belong? Sarah Ruhl reimagines this classic myth with its reconsiderations on love, loss and sacrifice. Produced in arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
