October 7 The Exonerated by Jessica Blank
and Erik Jensen
Imagine
that you are wrongly convicted of a crime and sent to death row. The
Exonerated chronicles the experiences of six innocent people who spent
from 2 to 22 years on death row and were eventually exonerated.
Their stories take us straight into the heart of darkness and back to
forgiveness and redemption. Recipient of a Champion of Justice
Award from the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. |

November 30-
December 23 The Magic Fire by Lillian Garrett-Groag The world of Evita’s Eva Peron is the
setting for The Magic Fire. A family of Italian immigrants in the
Buenos Aires of the 1950’s at the time of the death of Eva Peron
(some of them refugees from Nazi Austria) find themselves trapped in
the fascist system of Juan Peron’s regime and take refuge in
books, music, theatre and the arts. They are forced to confront
their ethical choices: morals and politics in place of art. |

February 22 March 9 in the Rochester TheatreFest at Geva Theatre Center Frozen by Bryony Lavery Frozen is an extraordinary play that entwines the lives
of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims and his psychologist to
explore our capacity for forgiveness, remorse and change after an act
that would seem to rule them out entirely. Winner of the
prestigious Barclay Award for Best New Play of 1998. |
