About SUMMER, 1976

One summer an unlikely friendship springs up between two young mothers that changes forever the course of their lives. Alice and Diana couldn't be more different, one a free-spirited academic spouse and the other a driven and self-critical artist. As the events of that fateful season test their friendship, we join them on their poignant and humorous journey in this captivating drama from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, David Auburn.

As we prepare for our final performance of ANN, FRAN & MARY ANN today at 2pm, we want to share a few moments to capture the lighting, set, costume, and video design for the production.

Andreea Mincic's set design splits the stage into two sparse lab spaces and incorporates the large mirror wall described in Erin Courtney's script. Jungmin Lee's video designs appear throughout the play as projections and vibrant images on the scientists' computer screens. Emmanuel Garcia-Castro's lighting carries the between the play's cold clinical lab setting and its more expressive emotional moments.

See it all in action this afternoon! ANN, FRAN, AND MARY ANN by Erin Courtney, directed by Sarah Doherty, runs April 23rd to 26th in the Bruce Montgomery Theatre. Reserve your free tickets for the show at the link in our bio.

It's time to share our final ANN, FRAN, AND MARY ANN company spotlights for... Lulia Tesfamariam (Ann) and Michelle Xilotl-Gonzalez (Costume Assistant and Wardrobe)!

AFMA Mini-Bios 9 and 10:

9) Lulia Tesfamariam is a senior in the College studying Psychology. A fun fact is that she used to do competitive diving in high school and managed to hit the board 3 times in the 3 years she played the sport.

10) Pre-vet by day, maker by night. If Michelle Xilotl-Gonzalez isn’t found at her desk, you can often find her at Platt or Addams, attempting to find a new creative skill to acquire!
