SUMMER, 1976

By David Auburn

April 15–May 9, 2027
Lindsay Family Stage at Granville Island
A SEASON OF INDEPENDENCE

Under the hot sun, and over the occasional joint, free-spirited housewife Alice and serious single mother Diana forge an unlikely bond. While their young daughters play, they open up to each other and connect in ways that neither of them could have expected. From the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright of Proof, this tender drama explores the profound impact of female friendships, and how every relationship, no matter how long it lasts, has the power to change a life forever.

“Sensitive...a warm and beguiling memory play.... The closer you look, and listen, and the more you reflect upon it, the deeper grow its rewards” —The Wall Street Journal

Summer, 1976 is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
