Echo Theatre Presents

FOUNDERS, KEEPERS

by Aurora Behlke

Echo Theatre is proud to announce the final main-stage show of our 2022 season, AND the winner of our 2022 Big Shout Out Playwriting Competition: Founders, Keepers by Aurora Behlke, a world-premiere directed by Caroline Hamilton!

ABOUT THE PLAY
Five 5th grade girls. One country in flames. One week to rewrite the Constitution.
The nation is in crisis. Washington DC is burning, and the government has assembled five 5th grade girls to rewrite the Constitution of the United States. Friendships form and break as these young women struggle with grief, power, and what it means to grow up in a broken democracy.

This production is recommended for audiences ages 13 and up.

Performances will be onstage LIVE at the Historic Bath House Cultural Center from September 16 - October 8, 2022. The run time for the production is approximately 90 minutes. After our Saturday matinees, we encourage you to stick around for a talk-back, where you can discuss the play with the cast, creative team, and other audience members.

Safety is our top priority, and masks will be required at all times. Additional equipment will be utilized to promote air circulation throughout the performance space.
