ARLINGTON

Feminist theater company Skylight Theater Collective presents ARLINGTON, a musical for solo voice and piano, one night only at 7:30pm on October 25, 2019, at Arlington Friends of the Drama located at 22 Academy St. ARLINGTON, with book and lyrics by playwright/novelist Victor Lodato and music by award-winning composer Polly Pen, centers on Sara Jane, the wife of a soldier at war, who over the course of the show’s hour runtime comes to question her long-held beliefs about the nature of war. Of the original off-Broadway production, The New Yorker writes “Sara Jane … who grew up in a military family and describes herself as ‘weak,’ starts off singing about how great her man is, but by the end of this hour-long play she is devastated, having slowly, inadvertently, revealed to the audience the horror of war as she understands it—and, tragically, she understands it intimately.” Directed by Amelia Boyce Munson with Musical Direction by Jordan Potash, starring Charlotte Munson in the role of Sara Jane.
