by James Hindman & Jeffrey Lodin |
||
An East Coast Premiere | ||
From The Andrews Sisters to Hip Hop! From World War One to Afghanistan. THE PIN-UP GIRLS sing a cavalcade of hits inspired by letters home from our troops overseas! While singing at their local VFW hall, Leanne and her friends stumble upon a huge stash of letters that go back a hundred years. Inspired by what they find - funny, romantic, and heartbreaking, the ladies put on a show that celebrates the guys and gals who fight to defend our country. Original Creative Development, CAB Productions, Claudia Stepp, President & Executive Producer Presented by special arrangement with Stage Rights (www.stagerights.com) The videotaping or other video or audio recording of this production is strictly prohibited. |

Eden Prairie by Mat Smart
FALL 2022
As war churns in Vietnam, night falls over the tranquil hills and creeks of a small Midwestern town, and a young woman hears a tap at her window. On the same night Apollo 15 makes its lunar landing, draft-dodger Pete steals home to Eden Prairie, after a 300-mile trek from Canada. He risks arrest to deliver an important message to his childhood friend, Rachel. Both are caught between duty to the ones they love and their own futures. In a moment of national tension that mirrors our own, Pete must defend his choices and grapple with the sacrifices he has made. Mat Smart’s stark, passionate drama - making its world premiere at Raven - confidently questions our notions of bravery and responsibility.
STAGED READINGS
For the Life of Me by Joel Stone
June 13, 2022. Harriet's mother and brother are waiting for the 18-year-old to join them in the kitchen for breakfast. But when she finally shows up, she's not the Harriet they were expecting. A mind-bending comedy about the search for truth, identity, and family.
Past Midnight: A Visit from Larry & Viv by Donna Hoke
June 20, 2022. Summoned by Vivien Leigh's companion, Sir Laurence Olivier rushes to the apartment where his one-time love has been recovering from a bout of tuberculosis. Viv and Larry's love story was as legendary as the careers they forged on stage and film--until devastating mental illness tore them apart. Is it too late to make amends?
