BLUEBARN Theatre to Host “Marjorie Prime” Performances Through May 3

BLUEBARN Theatre (bluebarn.org) will be hosting performances of Marjorie Prime by Pulitzer Prize Finalist Jordan Harrison April 9 to May 3. Performances will be Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

As the storyline goes, in the near future “Primes” are available from the good people at Senior Serenity, the latest devices for helping people with their fading memories and loss of companionship. Marjorie’s daughter and son-in-law have purchased Walter Prime (a holographic projection of her husband as he looked in his 30s) to keep her company. As the Prime is fed memories and conversation, the shape of their lives are revealed, more and more years are covered and recovered, and the nature of memories, the legacy of the past, and the promise of the future are all called into question.

Marjorie Prime is directed by Susie Baer Collins and features Ruth Rath, Ben Beck, Ablan Roblin, and Julie Huff. The production is brought to life with scenic design by Brendan Greene-Walsh, sound design by Bill Kirby, costume design by Denise Ervin, properties by Amy Reiner, and stage management by Chris Hernandez.

General admission tickets to this BLUEBARN Theatre production are $35 and $30 for seniors, military, and educators. Tickets are available online at bluebarn.org.
