Play Description

Cast: 3 men, 5 women

Winner of both the 1989 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, The Heidi Chronicles humorously and poignantly traces Heidi Holland’s coming of age from the late ‘60s to the late ‘80s—mirroring a generation’s trek through various political and social movements, most notably the evolution of the women’s movement. Through thought-provoking and often funny vignettes, Heidi, an intelligent, educated woman, struggles to find her place in a male-dominated world, surrounded by various women who are navigating the same challenging terrain.
