About the play: The Opera Singer by Playwright, Ann Schulman

International opera star Suzanna Briosa brings her young lover Jonathan home to the North Dakota farm house where she grew up. Having missed her mother's funeral, Suzanna is plagued with remorse and seeks her adoptive father Thomas' forgiveness. But when she arrives, she is once again confronted by Thomas' emotional spareness. Unsatisfied with his forgiveness, Suzanna must face her experience growing up an artist, part Native American Indian, on a small Midwestern ranch.

Admission is a "suggested donation" of $5 at the door. Feel free to give as little or as much as you can or want.
