'The Summer Land' brings story of Fox Sisters to Rochester stage
Nov 08, 2024
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Tonight marks the premiere of what's called a "uniquely Rochester play."
'The Summer Land' opens the third season for The Company Theatre at the historic Temple Building Theatre downtown.
The story takes us back to the 1840s. During a period of upheaval and enlightenment on the eve of the Civil War, the Fox sisters begin to speak.
They would carry a message that would set off the spiritualism movement. Chicago playwright and Geneseo alum Kate Royal and director Carl Del Buono joined us on Sunrise to share more about the production.
That interview is in the player on this page. The production runs through November 17.
