SPRAY by Emily Chadick Weiss is a new play featured in the Fall 2024 First Light Festival. The narrative centers on Rachel Carson, a pivotal environmentalist known for her influential writings against harmful insecticides, which sparked a movement in the 1960s. The play explores her personal struggles, including her challenging role as a caregiver for her family and her complex relationship with her close friend Dorothy Freeman. Through Carson's journey, the play delves into themes of legacy and the sacrifices made for future generations.
