The Pavillion

About the Show

Hailed by critics as an “an Our Town for our time,” this play is by turns poetic and comic, romantic and philosophical. Peter returns to his twenty-year high school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari, the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship. Standing in Peter's way is Kari's bitter-as-ever resentment, her husband, and the fact that Peter still hasn't grown up. As the night progresses, both Peter and Kari are led through their interactions with a host of delightful characters, all played by a virtuosic narrator. They face the consequences of choices made long ago and start back into life with newfound strength and bittersweet resolve.
