Ann, Fran, & Mary Ann: a staged reading.
May 15, 7 p.m.

​Ann, Fran, & Mary Ann is a play shaped like a mirror, exploring perception and reflection. Two married neuroscientists, Ann and Mary Ann, share a lab, but their studies could not be more different. Mary Ann, a former atheist, has become obsessed with God and has built a “God Helmet.” Ann, interested in the visual cortex and memory, studies Capgras Syndrome. When Ann decides to study Fran, an atypical subject, she jeopardizes her work and her marriage. The lab becomes a site of unethical scientific practice, violence, and betrayal. All three women confront the question, what danger comes from unexamined blind spots?

What danger comes from unexamined blind spots?

Late night: Rural Wyoming. Four young conservatives have gathered at a backyard after-party. They’ve returned home to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of a tiny Catholic college. But as their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos and clashing generational politics, it becomes less a celebration than a vicious fight to be understood. On a chilly night in the middle of America, Will Arbery’s haunting play offers grace and disarming clarity, speaking to the heart of a country at war with itself.
