Funny, touching, and written with rare grace and sensitivity, this play is a moving examination of the progress of a generation, from the socially and politically activist sixties to the success-oriented eighties—a time during which the status of American women underwent profound, and sometimes unsettling, change. The play follows Heidi Holland from the ages of 16 to 40 as she explores her desires for her own life, inspired by the liberation of feminism, but tempered by gendered expectations in a patriarchal society.

*The opening on Friday night will include a brief discussion with women's studies scholars after the show from 9:30-10 pm.
