1976. An Ohio college town. The second wave of feminism is cresting. Two very different women are thrown together through a faculty babysitting co-op and an unlikely friendship forms between Diana, a fiercely iconoclastic artist, and Alice, a free-spirited yet naive young housewife. Summer, 1976 is written by Pulitzer winner David Auburn (Proof) with Paula Plum, recipient of the Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence making her CST directorial debut. She is joined by Elliot Norton Award-winning actors Lee Mikeska Gardner and Laura Latreille as Diana and Alice. In the course of 90 minutes, we are brought directly into their memories and the small moments that change the course of their lives in this funny and poignant play The New York Times praises as “sharply observant…subtly, insistently feminist.”
