Grandstreet Theatre is thrilled to introduce the inaugural Spotlight Series, a bold new initiative for our 51st season! This unique series will feature the reading of one play and one musical, giving audiences an exclusive first look at exciting scripts and stories that haven’t hit our stage..
The Spotlight Series is about discovery and connection, exploring new scripts, fresh voices, and untold stories. Whether you’re a longtime Grandstreet supporter or stepping into our theatre for the first time, these performances promise an experience that is both engaging and unforgettable
SWING STATE
Recently widowed, Peg tends to the 40 acres of native prairie that rises behind her rural Wisconsin home. Her solitary days are interrupted only by visits from Ryan, a family friend with a checkered past. When her late husband’s foot locker is ransacked in her barn, she places a call to the local authorities, unwittingly setting off a series of events that will forever change their lives. As Peg and Ryan fight to regain each other’s trust, they learn how to help one another in new and meaningful ways and how to forge a sense of hope in a time when it feels like everyone’s way of life is in danger of disappearing.
SWING STATE is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.
