Dr. Ride's American Beach House
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. Brave New Classics is proud to partner with Burning Coal to present Liza Birkenmeier’s incandescent new play.
