Over Labor Day Weekend, the Franklin Stage Company is delighted to welcome back writer-actress Patricia Buckley with her solo play 'Evolution.' With a story that blends the lives of two sisters, their mother, and the unique evolution of whales, 'Evolution' is a deeply moving, often wildly funny tale of how human beings endure, evolve and move on. Buckley performed an earlier version of 'Evolution' to sold-out houses at FSC at the start of the 2015 season, and patrons have clamored ever since for its return.

Loop Troupe's mission is to bring the public entertaining, thought-provoking and critical work that examines our modern life, and the company shares FSC's interest in classic and classically-inspired texts. In their plays, Loop Troupe sets classical themes, structures, and character archetypes within a modern context.
