In 2014, it was recognized for excep- tional work with a listing on the Nation- al Register of Historic Places that touches on its cultural impact and role as one of the bastions of the small theater resurgence. Is art catching up with real life, or is it the other way around? “People are gravitat- ing out of the cities, L.A., Hollywood, and New York. Professional productions are moving into different regions.” This Au- gust, they’ll give us the stories of a Harlem musician, a Jewish immigrant, and a shel- tered, upper-class housewife. Three varied American stories merge into one message of hope. n
