PLAYDirected for the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts at Northwestern University
In association with Vibrant Colors Collective
Student Performance Project Series (Spring 2023)
About the Play
At the Frasier household, preparations for Grandma’s birthday party are underway. Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister can’t be bothered to help, her husband doesn’t seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager, and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place...!
FAIRVIEW is a searing examination of families, drama, family dramas, and the insidiousness of white supremacy.
Act One appears to be a comedic family drama.
Act Two watches Act One.
Then, Act Two pushes further into Act One and drives it forward to make Act Three.

A week before performances, this production was halted. We were incredibly disappointed, but it was the right decision for the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of everyone involved.
We feel incredibly grateful to have worked with such a wonderful group of actors, collaborators, and humans, and are especially grateful to Vibrant Colors Collective for their support and love.
It was and always will remain a rewarding and valuable experience full of the most love, learning, and life.
