Coming THIS SEASON!
Now That’s Entertaining
BETWEEN HEVAN & EARTHA
Written by Francesca Amendolia & Sharia Benn
In this new play, inspired by and created for the Climate Solutions / StateImpact PA project, six very different people find themselves thrown together on a stormy night in Harrisburg—the evening isn’t going to plan, but maybe that’s why things finally get real.
The conversation is only just starting—and you’re invited to take part.

Intimate Apparel by Lynn Cottage
Produced in Partnership with Theatre Harrisburg.
The time is 1905 and Esther Mills, an African American seamstress makes lingerie for the wealthy women uptown and ladies of the night downtown. Lynn Nottage’s “Intimate Apparel” explores the desire for both independence and connection, the insidious effects of racism and classism, the social oppression of women, and the bravery, hard work, friendship, and love of people forgotten by history.
