It is hailed as an enlightened portrait of a generation that charts the 1965-to-the-present experiences of a feminist art historian and her friends and lovers. With painful hilarity, we follow Heidi Holland through the turmoil of the ’60s—from campaigning for Eugene McCarthy to challenging male bias to consciousness-raising. Howard Kissel of “The New York Daily News” wrote about the play: “Splendid humor, clear-headedness and a healthy compassion for absurdity … This is not just a funny play, but a wise one.” Tickets for all performances except the preview are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors and are available by calling the box office in Lawrenceville at 609-896-5303. Tickets for the preview are $4 for general admission and are available only at the door.
