Five very different women struggle through their work, passions, and art to create a better world. Like most people, they wonder whether their efforts are in vain. Through glimpses of dramatic turning points in their lives, three interwoven plays show how a 19-year-old bike messenger, a middle-aged physician, two rival war correspondents, and a gifted young composer create far-reaching consequences of which they are completely unaware. Realistic and affirming, “Peregrine” is an eye-opener for all of us.
Amanda Aikman (playwright) brings to her plays a depth of compassion -- and amusement at the human condition -- garnered from her experience as a Unitarian minister, spiritual director, and joyfulness consultant. She is fascinated by the intersections of religion and science, sexuality and politics, art and technology. Fifteen of her plays have been produced in the Seattle area during the past decade. Amanda gives keynotes and workshops about joyfulness in the U.S. and Canada, and is in love with her tiny but hilarious congregation in Mount Vernon.
directed by Douglas Staley and featuring Nicole Chamberlin, Ian Gerrard, Julia Griffin, Julie Hoang, Pearl Klein, James Quatier, Carollani Sandberg, Carrie Schnelker and Suzanne Soule.
