A Walk in the Woodsby Lee Blessing
Directed by Nicolas Kent
March 17 - April 3, 2010

In 1983, faced with a breakdown in nuclear arms reduction talks between Ronald Reagan and Yuri Andropov, the lead negotiators met secretly in Geneva’s Botanic Garden to break the impasse.  Based on those real-life events, Blessing puts a human face on the life-and-death issues confronted by two Cold War adversaries.  Audiences will debate this powerful and funny play around kitchen tables for weeks.  Pulitzer Prize Nominee!
