Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that legalized abortion, is still fiercely debated fifty years later. In this incisive play, acclaimed writer Lisa Loomer cuts through the headlines and rhetoric to reveal the divergent personal journeys of lawyer Sarah Weddington and plaintiff Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe") in the years following the fateful decision. In turns shocking, humorous, and poignant, ROE reflects the polarization in America today while illuminating the heart and passion each side has for its cause.

A Collection of Works Presented by the Richmond Ballet
Brock Theatre, Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center
4:30 p.m.

Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, presents four diverse works which highlight the versatility, dynamic energy, and intense emotion for which the company is known. A quick burst of classical ballet, George Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante captivates audiences from start to finish with its sparkling swiftness and precise execution. Ben Stevenson’s Three Preludes explores the evolution of a couple’s love in an intimate ballet setting. In an excerpt from Colin Connor’s Vestiges, two dancers display their undeniable connection, reminiscent of a moth to a flame. Rounding out the program is Richmond Ballet Associate Artistic Director Ma Cong’s Glare; Cong’s undeniably emotive signature movement, along with an extraordinary score by David McAlmont and Michael Nyman, are the base for this powerful work that reflects the human experience.
