About this event

Our Practical Heaven

World Premiere

Our Practical Heaven poster press

 

by Anthony Clarvoe
directed by Allen McKelvey

 

Three generations of family gather over three holidays in a home none of them expects to long survive the rising sea. They do chores, text each other, and dance. They watch the birds and watch each other, while struggling for loyalty, legacy, and turf. By the end, everything has shifted and a new generation is in charge, but of what? Our Practical Heaven, the third Aurora mainstage production to develop from our annual Global Age Project, addresses the changing tides of communication, gender roles, and society in a place where even the notions of home and family remain fluid. GAP director Allen McKelvey, and original GAP cast members Julia Brothers* (The First Grade), Joy Carlin* (Thérèse Raquin), and Anne Darragh* (A Delicate Balance), reprise their roles for Aurora’s main stage production.
