Are you up to date with what happened last week?
The Heidi Chronicles!
Let's hear from one of the casts of the Heidi Chronicles, Ân Vòng, Class of 2023.
" Hi! I'm An Vong. I was born in Vietnam but moved to Massachusetts in 2013.
I played three minor roles within The Heidi Chronicles. I work in the costume shop in the Weitz, so I also help changed Heidi backstage so she can go on stage in time with a different costume for each scene!
I met some cool people along the way, like Alli Palmbach and Josh Isaacs, and got closer to my friends (Bryn and Liv!)
I love musical theatre. When I’m not at Carleton, I tend to do homework at Blue Monday or dinner sometimes at Chapati.
I love to hike through the Lower and Upper Arb in my free time. "
What is the Heidi Chronicles?
"The Heidi Chronicles is a feminist play written by Wendy Wasserstein. It’s original Broadway run occurred in 1989 and it became a cultural sensation. The play was originally mounted Off-Broadway in 1988, but its resounding success led it to cross over. Rather than an official page, this is a page dedicated to the amazing piece of theatre that is The Heidi Chronicles; feminist, political, dramatic, funny, and highly entertaining, The Heidi Chronicles is one of the best plays that emerged from the United States of America in the 1980s.
The play was adapted into a TV movie in 1996 and a Broadway revival was produced in 2015. Although the revival wasn’t a box office success, the film was very well-received, winning an Emmy and several award nominations." - http://www.theheidichroniclesonbroadway.com/
