Our production of A Revelation of Character is right around the corner. This new play, written by Patrick Gabridge and directed by Lisa Rafferty, is about a friendship forged and fractured by the fires of abolition. Created for the Associates of the Boston Public Library’s Pierce Performance Series, this play features a deep dive into the lively letters and writings by and between Lydia Maria Child and Maria Weston Chapman.
Presented as a concert reading, the show will run November 12, 13 & 15 at Rabb Hall in the Central Branch of the Boston Public Library at Copley Square. Tickets are free but reservations are required.
Our stellar cast features Jennifer Drummond (who was just in The Kittie Knox Plays in September) as Maria Weston Chapman, Emma Friend as Debora Weston, and Amie Lytle as Lydia Maria Child, with Eliza Fichter understudying all three roles.
Our costume designer, Kat Lawrence, is hard at work on costumes. Here are sketches of her lovely designs:
We hope to see you at A Revelation of Character! (Which is our final show of 2025, but don’t worry, we have four new shows coming in 2026 to Newport, Deerfield, Northampton, and East Granby, CT.)
