Tremont’s convergence-continuum theater is quite a fan of playwright Jordan Harrison’s work. It’s previously produced five plays by the Pulitzer finalist and is about to stage a sixth, Log Cabin, which premiered in New York in 2018. C-c’s production will be its regional premiere.
The play is described as a “pointed comedy,” that combines “stinging satire” and “acute compassion” that “charts the breakdown of empathy that happens when we think our rights are secure, revealing conservative hearts where you’d least expect.” Like many plays staged by c-c, it has an LGBTQ angle: “It’s a faraway age of hope and inclusivity; in other words, it’s 2015,” says the synopsos. “When a tight-knit circle of married gays and lesbians – comfy in the new mainstream – see themselves through the eyes of their rakish transgender pal, it’s clear that the march toward progress is anything but unified.”
It’s also got an “intimacy coordinator” on its crew in addition to a pair of directors, lighting designer etc.
Log Cabin opens at c-c’s home, the Liminis, on Thursday May 26 and runs through June 11, Thursday-Saturday @ 8pm. (Originally schedule to open May 20, the opening was pushed back due to illness.) Tickets are $23, $18 for seniors and students.
