Dr. Ride’s American Beach House presented by Brave New Classics
It’s 1983, the evening before Dr. Sally Ride’s historic space flight. Hundreds of miles from the launch a group of women with passionate opinions and no opportunities sit on a sweltering St. Louis rooftop watching life pass them by. Their uncharted desires bump up against American norms of sex and power in this intimate snapshot of queer anti-heroines.
Written by Liza Birkenmeier. Presented as part of Burning Coal Theatre’s annual 2nd Stage Series.
6/13/26-6/28/26 at Burning Coal Theatre in Raleigh.
