These plays were written to be performed on the grounds of the historic Mount Auburn Cemetery. The Nature Plays explore the lively natural environment, ranging on topics from the mating habits of spotted salamanders to a love story between two male sassafras trees. The America Plays examine American identity yhrough the lens of Mount Auburn, from vibrant characters like sculptors Harriet Hosmer and Edmonia Lewis to the poignant story of refugees from the Armenian Genocide. Moonlight Abolitionists presents a swirling conversation between six abolitionists buried at Mount Auburn, performed under the full moon. Altogether, this work conjured laughter and tears from audiences who witnessed a spectacular dramatic team on a unique stage.
