Dr Ride’s American Beach House

Women’s uncharted desires bump up against American norms of sex and power in this intimate snapshot of queer anti-heroines.

Brave New Classics presents Liza Birkenmeier’s incandescent new play. It's 1983, the evening before Dr. Sally Ride's historic space flight. Hundreds of miles from the launch a group of women with passionate opinions and no opportunities sit on a sweltering St. Louis rooftop watching life pass them by. Their uncharted desires bump up against American norms of sex and power in this intimate snapshot of queer anti-heroines. Running June 13-28 at Burning Coal Theatre in downtown Raleigh. Presented as part of Burning Coal Theatre’s annual 2nd Stage Series: https://burningcoal.org/second-stage. For more info, visit https://bravenewclassicstheatre.com.
