To the Orchard

To the Orchard follows a college student, Rachel Bergman, and her Orthodox Jewish father. The pair must come to terms with who they truly are and with each other. To the Orchard, written by Les Hunter and directed by Dale Heinen, encompasses past and present, making for an almost surreal and retrospective experience. The play is set “in Brooklyn in the recent past, but incorporates dreamlike visits to turn-of-the-century England and the lost Jewish Eastern Europe.” Presented by Playwrights Local 4181, the play premieres tonight at 8 at the Creative Space at Waterloo Arts. Performances continue through Sunday. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for students. (Bullock)
