LTV Studios will kick off Women’s History Month this Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. with a special reading of Laura Darrell’s play “Oregon,” presented by The Playwrights’ Theatre of East Hampton in association with Robin Aren. Directed by Allen O’Reilly, the play will star Rebecca Hoodwin, Katie Rodgers, Teresa DeBerry, Andrea Harum Schiavoni and Minerva Scelza and is produced by Aren and Josh Gladstone.
“Oregon” is a play about a family’s struggle to confront the ubiquitous challenges of honoring life in the presence of death. Three generations of women navigate end-of-life care when their 88-year-old matriarch’s body starts a negative feedback loop. Together they battle wills, confront the terrifying option of medically assisted death, and ultimately find inspiration through deep self-reflection to honor the woman they all dearly love.
With patient guidance and grace from their courageous hospice nurse, they balance their pain of impending loss with humor and resilience, processing the lessons and rewards found in loving and losing that challenge us all.
Tickets are $20 ($10 students) with VIP café table seating available for $35 including a drink. For tickets and more information, visit ltveh.org. LTV Studios is at 75 Industrial Road in Wainscott.
