Roslyn Ruff and Heather Alicia Simms in Fairview

In Fairview, which officially opened June 17 with direction by Artistic Director Sarah Benson, the Frasier family prepares for Grandma’s birthday—but not all is going according to plan, and things quickly go in unexpected directions. Through the style of a naturalistic family drama, the new work is an examination of race and privilege in America, as well as an investigation into the ways in which we watch and judge each other every day.

The second extension is made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation.
