Now-February 16th
Forward Theater’s current production running now is Summer, 1976 by David Auburn. The summer of America’s Bicentennial finds Diana, an artist, and Alice, a professor’s wife, thrown together through a faculty babysitting co-op at Ohio State. As they navigate migraines and marriage crises, tantrums and road trips, they build an expansive and intimate friendship as full of possibility, and as fleeting, as summer. The show will take place at The Playhouse at Overture Center and feature Colleen Madden and Heidi Armbruster in alternating roles!
