A Night Out: Take a friend or family member to see your choice of 2 amazing shows at Arena Stage.
The Snow Child: Eowyn Ivey?s debut novel, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, is reborn as a magical new musical with a bluegrass-infused score. The 1920 Alaskan wilderness is a brutal place to try to save a marriage. Reeling from the loss of an unborn child, Mabel and Jack struggle to rebuild their lives even as the fissures between them continue to widen. But everything changes suddenly when they are visited by a wild, mysterious girl who embodies the dark woods that surround their cabin. In this beautiful and violent land, things are rarely as they appear, and what the snow child teaches them will ultimately transform them all.
Or
Two Trains Running: It?s 1969 and the Civil Rights Movement is sending tremors through Pittsburgh?s Hill District. At the center of the community is Memphis Lee?s diner, slated to be demolished ? a casualty of the city?s renovation project. Confronted with a rapidly changing world, Memphis and his regular customers struggle to maintain their solidarity and sense of pride. From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson comes this masterpiece about everyday lives in the shadow of great events, and of unsung citizens who are anything but ordinary. ?Mr. Wilson's most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate heart of history.?
