Synopsis: | One white family and one Native American family, living side by side, in the west desert of Utah. The play covers the time between 1877 and the present, a total of seven generations, each scene taking place a generation later than the one before. We follow the life of Albertine who begins as a ten-year-old Goshute girl living with a white family on a ranch next to her tribe's ancestral land. We trace the interdependence and resentment, the love and denial of the two families. In the end Albertine's great grandchildren are grappling with a decision to store high-level nuclear waste on their reservation. | |||||

Synopsis: | A photograph captures and documents a single moment in time and space -- a snapshot of history, of a reality bounded by the photo's frame. But what lies outside, beyond, behind the photograph? And what stories, memories, or associations does an image of place inspire? In this multi-writer project from Actors Theatre of Louisville, a diverse assortment of talented playwrights encounter and transform Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, 1969, a compelling image of the monument by renowned photographer Lee Friedlander. Their thought-provoking scenes and monologues range from delightful comedy to utterly serious tragedy, each approaching the photo's themes through a new lens.

Synopsis: | The place is a small town in rural Utah, where a young mother, Nyda, wages a good-humored struggle to provide a decent, if threadbare, home for her two adolescent sons, Reese and J. Roy, with little help from her ne'er-do-well, alcoholic husband, Myers. J. Roy, the older son, is reserved and pensive, and preoccupied with religion; Reese is hyperactive and disruptive, and sometimes more than Nyda can handle; but both boys (like their mother) are drawn to their soft-spoken uncle, Wells, a bachelor farmer (and Myers' brother) who has become a surrogate father to them and a mainstay of support for their mother. When Myers shows up after another extended binge, the deep-seated animosities that beset the family begin to surface with growing ferocity, as he vents his frustrations with wild boasts of far-fetched money-making schemes and vicious taunts about his brother's obviously deepening regard for the beleaguered Nyda. Inevitably the underlying tensions build to an explosive, fatal climax, which is both shocking and, at the same time, compassionately revealing of the tragic consequences which can ensue when hopefulness and love are overcome by bitterness and despair. | |||||
