Summer Fools Festival - Collected Stories

By Donald Margulies
Direction by Denise Simone

A respected short story writer and teacher in her mid-fifties, Ruth Steiner has carved out a comfortable life for herself in the Greenwich Village apartment she has occupied for decades. Lisa Morrison is a talented 26 year old graduate student and aspiring writer, a child of suburban privilege. Lisa arrives at Ruth's apartment for her first tutorial as a gawky, gushing hero worshiper. When Ruth quips, "I had someone darker in mind," she doesn't realize the foreshadowing in her own life story, but the audience should be put on alert. Featuring Anna Johnson and Claudia McCain.
