Season 32
“Navigating history, whether personal or public, is challenging. There are facts and there are memories, and though they do not always match up, both are essential in the understanding of its impact then and also today. What if there are no heroes or villains but only human beings? I am thrilled to dig into some of the beautiful, horrible, hilarious ways that histories haunt us all this season and look forward to seeing you at the theatre!”
-Kirsten Fitzgerald, Artistic Director, A Red Orchid Theatre
