​

In the early 1970s, before Roe v. Wade, before the Violence Against Women Act, Agnes has turned her quiet bed and breakfast into one of the few spots where victims of domestic violence can seek refuge. But to Agnes’s dismay, her latest runaway, Mary Anne, is beginning to influence Agnes’s college-bound daughter Penny. As the drums of a feminist revolution grow louder outside of Agnes’s tiny world, Agnes is forced to confront her own presumptions about the women she’s spent her life trying to help.

Why When We Were Young & Unafraid?- a statement from the Artistic Leadership Committee

​

The Artistic Leadership Committee chose When We Were Young and Unafraid for our 91st season because it courageously explores the complexities of identity, community, and the fight for justice. This powerful play, which was strongly considered for our 90th season, remains as timely and urgent as ever. By shedding light on stories often left unheard, it invites audiences to confront difficult truths with empathy and honesty, sparking meaningful dialogue about courage, hope, and our shared humanity.
