The Ruby Sunrise

January 15, 2009

Synopsis

Setting off from a farm in Indiana as a young girl named Ruby struggles to turn her dream of the first all-electrical television system into a reality, and jumping forward to a McCarthy-era New York TV studio where Ruby’s heirs fight over how her story should be told in a live teleplay, THE RUBY SUNRISE charts the course of the phenomenon of television: from early idealism and sparks of genius, to promises fulfilled and compromises brokered, and beyond.

Featuring: Ensemble Members John Kelly Connolly, Alexandra Main, and Artistic Director, Michael Patrick Thornton (Jeff Award Winner), with Brenda Barrie, Jennifer Betancourt, Nick Bonges, Patrick De Nicola, Caitlin Emmons, Katie Genualdi, Maura Kidwell, and Raymond Shoemaker.
