Dry Land officially opened Sept. 8 following previews that began Sept. 5. The production continues through Sept. 27.
Directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt, the cast for Dry Land includes Jim Ireland, Tina Ivlev, Alice Kremelberg, Sarah Mezzanotte, andMatthew Stadelmann.
Here's how the production is billed: "Amy is pregnant. Amy has asked Ester to meet her in their high school swim team locker room to abort the fetus. Ester deeply idolizes Amy and will do anything for her admiration. Through the course of the play we watch them form a complex and intimate relationship, one built on vulnerability and challenged by the fear of being vulnerable. Both deeply lonely and alone in their two secrets, they struggle with each other, their bodies, with themselves, and with what it means to be and to become young women."
The scenic design for Dry Land is by John McDermott; costume design is by Ashley Rose Horton; lighting design is by Grant Yeager; sound design is by Amy Altadonna; properties by Shannon O’Brien; and technical direction by Josh Shain. Sarah Devon Ford is the production stage manager, and casting is by Anne Davison. Michaela Buccola and Stephanie Wessels are producing, in collaboration with Colt Coeur.
