Imprisoned in solitary confinement behind the Iron Curtain of post-war Romania, Elsie’s only companions are two other prisoners she cannot touch or see, tortured like Elsie for their beliefs. As they tap out messages in Morse code from the confines of their lonely cells, the unseen companions trigger memories from her former life, especially her love affair before the war. Past and present collide as Elsie is forced to imagine a future without torture or faith.
Featuring Heather Pattengale, Tim Bratton, and John McIver.
Direction and Scenic Design by Stephen Waldschmidt, Costume Design by Victoria Krawchuk, Lighting Design by Becky Halterman, Sound Design by Paul Zacharias.
Tickets on sale soon for this World Premiere!

3 writers, 3 new stories each celebrating the madness experienced in “tying the knot.” When a couple says “I do” they enter a perfect storm of differences and previously undiscovered baggage, a seemingly impossible journey demanding grit and resolve. Hosted in coffee shop settings, these 3 short plays invite couples to embrace the challenges of marriage and find themselves in the midst of a deeply beautiful story.
