The Beebo Brinker Chronicles at 37 Arts Theatre

The Beebo Brinker Chronicles, by Kate Moira Ryan and Linda S. Chapman, opens at the 37 Arts Theatre on 05 Mar 2008, following previews from 19 Feb and running through to 27 Apr 2008.

Set in pre-Stonewall Greenwich Village, The Beebo Brinker Chronicles celebrates the era when 'the love that dares not speak its name'� began breaking the old rules. Fueled by booze and furtive sex, the play follows the lives and loves of Laura, Beth and Beebo as they navigate uncharted territories of desire.

Beth and Laura, secret lovers in college, went separate ways after graduation: Beth married and had children, Laura moved to New York. Both pine for each other, but before they can reunite, they find themselves entangled in the web of Beebo Brinker, a butch denizen of the bars with a soft spot for young lesbians fresh off the bus.

Directed by Leigh Silverman, and produced by Harriet Newman Leve, Elyse Singer and Jamie deRoy, The Beebo Brinker Chronicles features David Greenspan, Carolyn Baeumler, Autumn Dornfeld, Marin Ireland and Bill Dawes.

Set design by Rachel Hauck, costumes by Theresa Squire, lighting by Nicole Pearce and sound by Jill BC DuBoff.

The The Beebo Brinker Chronicles was produced earlier this year by the Hourglass Group and played at The Fourth Street Theatre. With the exception of Bill Dawes, this new production features the same cast and creative team.
