A blistering August in upstate New York. No rain in 3 months. And the little daughter of Lila, a young worship leader at a charismatic church, doesn’t wake up one morning. Lila’s estranged sister Franny, a lesbian who fled the church seven years prior, returns home for the first time for what she thinks is a funeral; only to find that her sister and the church she left behind are determined to pray for the toddler’s resurrection—no matter how long it takes. A play about incongruous faith, sisters, and what happens when we pray for something dead to come back.

Nicola, Con, Sorel, Paulie, Masha, Devyn, Nina, and Alex are old friends. Each summer, they spend a week on Nic’s dock talking about theater and dykes and sex and aging and the loons that circle the lake. This is the last summer they’ll ever do this, but they don’t know that yet. Anyway, tonight Con’s making everyone listen to her new play. (She seems better this year, right?)

Nicola, Con, Sorel, Paulie, Masha, Devyn, Nina, and Alex are old friends. Each summer, they spend a week on Nic’s dock talking about theater and dykes and sex and aging and the loons that circle the lake. This is the last summer they’ll ever do this, but they don’t know that yet. Anyway, tonight Con’s making everyone listen to her new play. (She seems better this year, right?)

A love song to ambition, art-making, and heartbreak,“Tremolo” is at once a radical queer reimagining of Chekhov’s “The Seagull” set on the dock of a dark lake--and a singular exploration of an intergenerational found family on the precipice of great loss.
