Eclipse Theatre Company presents Romulus Linney's historical drama Democracy. In the potitical society of 1870s Washington, two beautiful women must decide whether to marry two men. This scathingly funny, insightful play, based on two novels by Henry Adams, is set against the backdrop of Ulysses S. Grant's scandal-plagued administration. Learn More

More Details About Botanic Garden
More Information
Kate and Jake were married for more than 20 years. Now, recently widowed and faced with the daunting prospect of dating for the first time in decades, the memories of her marriage--some laughter and passion-filled, others frustration-ridden--surround Kate as she reevaluates her choices in this new chapter in her life. Botanic Garden offers a funny and refreshingly unsentimental look at loss, questioning our collective belief that "moving on" is the best medicine.
