PRIDE\u2019S CROSSING by Tina Howe<\/h2>\n

Directed by Kathleen M. McGeever<\/h3>\n

The Clifford E. White Theater<\/h3>\n

April 18-19, 24-26 @ 7:30 PM<\/h3>\n

April 27 @ 2 PM<\/h3>\n

In Pride\u2019s Crossing, Tina Howe creates a fictional biography of Mabel Tidings Bigelow, a New Englander whose life has traversed over nine decades in the twentieth century. Tina Howe writes in her introduction to the play, \u201cThere was a young woman who swam the English Channel in 1926. A new Yorker named Gertrude Ederle. She was nineteen and she beat every record on the books.\u201d Taking her inspiration from Gertrude Ederle and superimposing the \u201cwhat if\u201d on her elderly aunt, Maddy, Howe has created a complex heroine, Mabel Tidings who becomes a grand figure, specific in her achievement, and universal in the sadness of the expectations of her gender. A memory play, we follow Mabel\u2019s story as she ricochets from decade to decade uncovering her roots that forges her identity — a domineering mother, a distant father, two brothers \u2013 one caring, one contentious \u2013 and an abusive husband. Mable defies adversity, as many of Howe\u2019s heroines do, because they carry remarkable inner strength and find reconciliation. Mable\u2019s peace is in the ocean, swimming. A triumphant and inspiring award-winning play that transcends our expectations!<\/p>\n

The world premiere of Pride\u2019s Crossing was presented by the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, CA. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1997, and the winner of the 1997 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play. Playwright Tina Howe, a friend to NAU Theatre, sadly passed in September of 2023. We honor Tina\u2019s place in American Theatre with our production.<\/p>\n
