Starting January 17, experience Nikki Weaver's journey of discovery and transformation as she uncovers pieces of her own past and present through a community of other women.
In October 2015, Nikki sent a letter to 60 women - some she knew and some she didn’t - requesting a piece of fabric and an explanation of its sentimental value. The result is
Weaving Women Together
, an entirely female-driven piece about the loss of her mother and how Nikki has collected her in other women, and a magic skirt made entirely of the tales - and fabric - shared by these women.
Directed by Gretchen Corbett, this production of
Weaving Women Together
is a labor of love in process. While each performance will be fully staged, the show may change from night to night over the limited, two-week run.

Gather with Playhouse staff, artists and community members as we remember how far we've come and acknowledge just how far we have to go.

Thank you to everyone who helped make a 2017 a success. From following us to different venues around town while we were displaced for
our renovation, to hosting us in your own homes for the
Fall Reading Series, to GIVING $46,785 in end-of-year donations, your support made a somewhat unconventional year one to be remembered.
