Synopsis: | When Ethan is born in the worst blizzard of the century, two-year-old sister Ainsley nearly sacrifices a toe trying to clear a path for the baby's arrival. That initial gesture of devotion blossoms into a tale of sibling loyalty, rivalry and love that spans two decades. Inspired by Joan Ackermann's narrative "Back Story," each of the eighteen playwrights in this collective creation puts a distinctive spin on Ainsley's and Ethan?s amusing and poignant struggles with life, with each other, and with the phantom dad who abandoned them for the wilds of Alaska | |||||

Synopsis: | In a single moment, four young strangers are coughing. A reverend, a mother, a nurse, and a college student inhabit different places, but are the same in youth and illness. They tell us their vividly intertwined stories so that we might remember them, together dreaming of what they'll leave behind and who they might have become. A beautifully poetic evocation of young people succumbing to the devastation of tuberculosis in the 19th century. | |||||
