Springs Ensemble Theatre Stages A LATE SNOW, Now thru 4/26

Springs Ensemble Theatre ("SET") continues our critically acclaimed sixth main-stage season with Jane Chambers' A Late Snow. It opens tonight, April 9th and performs through April 26th, 2015.

A Late Snow is the story of a woman trapped in a snowstorm with her first, last, current and, possibly, next lover. A Late Snow is about how we find love, how we decide the right partner for us, and how to finally choose to live an authentic life.

Ellie is a professor at a conservative college in a conservative state. She worries about being openly gay, as it could mean she will lose her job. Jane Chambers wrote A Late Snow in 1974, when people had to worry more about the risks of living a life true to themselves. Now, in 2015, there are still circles where LGBT professionals still have to worry about what their peers might think and how it might affect their work, family, and livelihood. We have come so far, but Jane Chambers' words still ring true today shines a light on just how far we still have to go. As part of a season that is 80% written by strong, female writers, SET is excited to bring this seldom-seen, ground-breaking play back to the Front Range!

A Late Snow will be performed at Springs Ensemble Theatre located at 1903 E. Cache La Poudre Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80909. Performances dates are: April 9, 10, and 11 at 7:30p.m., April 16, 17, 18 at 7:30 p.m., April 19 at 4:00p.m., April 23, 24, and 25 at 7:30p.m., April 26 at 4:00 p.m.
