Eleemosynary at SUNY Cortland Performing Arts Department

Discover the powerful and tender story of three generations of extraordinary women in Eleemosynary, the critically acclaimed play by Lee Blessing, directed by Ithaca and NYC based stage and screen director Adara Alston. Dorothea, the eccentric matriarch (played by Olivia Celis); Artie, her fiercely independent daughter (played by Erin DeGraw); and Echo, the granddaughter caught between their worlds (played by Ann Marie Thorell), navigate a tale of words, wings, and the courage to soar! 

Audiences will be captivated by the raw emotion and intellectual depth of this highly theatrical production, as it explores the fragile bonds that hold family together. With Alston’s masterful direction, Eleemosynary promises to deliver a performance that is both deeply moving and richly engaging. Performances are scheduled for February 27th, 28th and March 1st at 7:30 PM, and a matinee on March 2nd at 2 PM. All performances will be held at CRT Downtown, offering an intimate setting to fully immerse yourself in this poignant story.
