Show synopsis:
GEORGIA maneuvers through love after rape. After a young couple survives this quiet violence, the play shows the staggered reality of what happens when our emotional development catches up to the definitive moments in our relationships. GEORGIA shows how a single thrust unlocks different answers to the same question. A one-woman, four-character play, GEORGIA forces an analysis of opposing viewpoints through the vulnerability of the main character; the generational consciousness of her best friend; the matured perspective of an immigrant parent and finally, from the gendered posturing of a young man. GEORGIA investigates the windows of good, evil and the sometimes blurry lines in between. Showtimes: Friday, May 25, 7:30p/Saturday, May 26, 7:30p/ Sunday, May 27, 7:30p
