After the Revolution

Jamaica Plain’s own community theater, The Footlight Club, is proud to present its next 7A Black Box program, “After the Revolution” .&nbsp; Written by Amy Herzog, the play focuses on the impact to a family when its cherished history is challenged by new information. The play opens April 11 at 8pm, in the Parker Room of Eliot Hall at the longtime home of America’s longest continuously operating community theater. Tickets are $20 to the public, free to members. In “After the Revolution”, brilliant, promising Emma Joseph proudly carries the torch of her family's Marxist tradition, devoting her life to the memory of her blacklisted grandfather. But when history reveals a shocking truth about the man himself, the entire family is forced to confront questions of honesty and allegiance they thought had been resolved.&nbsp; The New Yorker called the play “a shrewd, ironic meditation on what we do with history, how we appropriate it for our own psychological needs. Among the play's many pleasures, the most satisfying is the way the characters struggle through their differences to listen to one another. The ability to listen is, perhaps, the definition of love”. Directed by Michael Colford, “After the Revolution” stars Abby Kesselman as Emma, with Scot Colford as father Ben, Susan Diller as grandmother Vera and Samuel Dinnar as Uncle Leo.&nbsp; Jenn Bean, Marie Sioby, Oscar Villeda and Andy Moore round out the cast.&nbsp; The 7A Black Box program of The Footlight Club provides members the opportunity to present smaller or more experimental shows, new work, staged readings, cabarets, stand-up comedy, and other reimaginings of theatrical productions.&nbsp; For more information about the 7A Black Box program, the Footlight Club, or “After the Revolution”, please go to the club’s website, <a href="http://www.footlight.org">www.footlight.org</a> where you can also purchase tickets. WHEN: April 11-12, 17-18, Friday and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm.&nbsp; w.
