[NEohioPAL] “To the Orchard” Opens Friday, May 27!

[Playwrights Local 4181 via NEohioPAL]

Playwrights Local 4181 announces the world premiere of Les Hunter’s
contemporary drama, To the Orchard. Directed by Dale Heinen, the play runs
May 27 through June 5 at Waterloo Arts in North Collinwood and June 10
through 12 at Dobama Theatre in Cleveland Heights.

In To the Orchard, college student Rachel Bergman reveals her sexual
identity to her Orthodox Jewish father, who also is struggling with his own
hidden past. In coming to terms with each other--and themselves--the pair
must reconcile the conflicting pulls of tradition and individual desire.
The play takes place in Brooklyn in the recent past, but incorporates
dreamlike visits to turn-of-the-century England and the lost Jewish Eastern
Europe. The spirits of Robert Plant and Virginia Woolf add a touch of magic
realism to this intimate work about making mistakes, coming clean, and the
power of history and family.

The cast of To the Orchard features Robert Branch, Kelsey Angel Baehrens,
Andrea Belser, and Michael Regnier. For more information, including other

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for students. To buy
