High-school teacher Isaac (Colin Fewell) works through his own father issues while trying to help a student reconnect with his dad -- who just happens to be his boss, the school's principal, in this new play by David Alex. Isaac, though, is haunted by a choice he made concerning his father, a navy veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress and is desperate for his own form of reconciliation and forgiveness. Maggie Speer directs this Polarity Ensemble Theatre and Azusa Productions show.

Edith Wharton Meets With F. Scott Fitzgerald in Tea With Edie and Fitz

Full Price:
$30.00
Our Price:
$15.00

One day in the 1920s, two literary legends -- Edith Wharton and F. Scott Fitzgerald -- met for tea, and then never spoke again. Tea With Edie and Fitz imagines that monumental meeting, jumping backward and forward in time to examine the lives of the two fascinating writers. What happened during their meeting to cause them to never speak again? Spanning the entire globe, from glittering expatriate Paris to roaring post-WWI Manhattan, the show explores each author's life. Fitzgerald shared his life with his beautiful and troubled Southern wife, Zelda, while Wharton shared hers with the ghost of her mentor and longtime companion Henry James. A look at the two writers' lives leads to questions of gender, sanity, time, the purpose of art, and the nature of love and loss. Learn More

Not a very good play. Confusing and rather trite. Seen this theme done much better.

Play closed already.

This play still needs work. It doesn't hang together very well and left me uninvolved with the characters. I can't honestly recommend it.

We really enjoyed Adrift as it had a very thought provoking theme and was an experience very much worth our time.
