Storytellers determine the values by which we live, and consequently, those values determine what stories get told, again and again. They are a grounding constant for a society in turmoil, and over time, adapt to new circumstances like everything else. But what happens when change is treated not as an opportunity for growth, but as a threat? Enter Bridget Cleary, a young woman struggling to carve her own path in a world that wants her to remain docile. The men in her life are threatened by her conviction and her aunt, Mary Kennedy, can only warn her the cost of retaining her identity. Family and folklore go head to head in Emma Kessler’s ‘The Changeling.
Featuring Emily Hensley as Bridget Cleary, Cole Seager as Michael Cleary, Tia Tanzer as Mary Kennedy, Ryan Ledman as Patrick Kennedy, Gus Mahoney as Father Ryan and Inspector, Alex Church as Jack Dunne, and Jack Bechard as Willie, Doc, and Constable.
This production is directed by Mel Fellows, production managed by Julianne Escanan, sound designed by Rachel Anne Brees with additional music by Raymond Niu, and dialect coached by Katie McLane. Cover art by Jack Magnus.
