[NoHo Arts District, CA] – The Group Rep presents the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning modern comedy THE HEIDI CHRONICLES, written by Wendy Wasserstein, directed by Brent Beerman, and produced by Melissa Strauss for The Group Rep.
About THE HEIDI CHRONICLES
A perspective and funny play about an art historian and her friends, male and female, gay and straight, who mature from the wild ‘60s to the wilder ‘80s as they search for political, professional and personal fulfillment and enlightenment. It explores women’s struggle for independence, respect and recognition in a post-1960s world. Heidi goes on a journey of becoming confident in her identity as a single woman. Witty, insightful and poignant, this is Wendy Wasserstein’s most popular play.
