Four years ago, I sat in a theater at Oregon Shakespeare Festival and wept. All around me, people were standing and applauding the performance and I was a puddle of tears.

The play wasn't especially sad, but I was weeping because it was so beautiful. That play was Mary Zimmerman's The White Snake--a gentle retelling of the ancient Chinese tale of a snake who comes down the mountain to discover what it is to be human.

When we finally left our seats, I turned to Joe McGrath and said, "We have to bring this play to our audience in Tucson!"

That was four years ago. In just a few days, The White Snake opens at The Rogue. 

I can't wait to share it with you.

 

With joy, 

Cynthia Meier 

Co-Founder of The Rogue Theatre
