Orlando’s Gift is a new play inspired inspired by the novel, Orlando, by Virginia Woolf. It tells the love story of writer, Virginia Woolf, and her hero/heroine Orlando, a character who has too many selves to count. Orlando lives forever in a giddy world of fantasy, wit, surprise and theatrical adventure. Author and character discover the power of words to celebrate life and the ecstasy of the imagination at work.
Written and directed by David Feldshuh.
The post-show discussion will be followed by a reception for the cast, crew, friends and audience members who stay for the discussion.
This production is free and open to the public. Tickets are required.

All events are cosponsored by the Dept. of Performing and Media Arts (PMA).
