SUMMER, 1976
by David Auburn
The price includes instruction by John Dalton, the ticket and bus transportation!
Over one fateful summer, an unlikely friendship develops between a fiercely iconoclastic artist and single mother and a naïve young housewife. As the Bicentennial is celebrated across the country, these two women navigate motherhood, ambition, and intimacy, and help each other discover their own independence. This deeply moving, insightful piece by Pulitzer winner David Auburn is about connection, memories, and the small moments that can change the course of our lives. Starring Patti Gardner and Sara Morsey. A Miami Premiere.
“Sharply observant... a story of profound connection and awakening disquiet.”
– The New York Times
