Breakthrough Theatre to Present THE HEIDI CHRONICLES, 2/19-29

By:
The Breakthrough Theatre of Winter Park presents the Wendy Wasserstein play, "The Heidi Chronicles", from February 19-29, 2016.

Comprised of a series of interrelated scenes, the play traces the coming of age of Heidi Holland, a successful art historian, as she tries to find her bearings in a rapidly changing world. Gradually distancing herself from her friends, she watches them move from the idealism and political radicalism of their college years through militant feminism and, eventually, back to the materialism that they had sought to reject in the first place. Heidi's own path to maturity involves an affair with the glib, arrogant Scoop Rosenbaum, a deeper but even more troubling relationship with a charming, witty young pediatrician, Peter Patrone, and increasingly disturbing contacts with the other women, now much changed, who were a part of her childhood and college years. Eventually Heidi comes to accept the fact that liberation can be achieved only if one is true to oneself, with goals that come out of need rather than circumstance.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award, the Hull-Warriner Award and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

The show will run from February 19-22 and 25-29, 2016.
