‘Variations on a Theme'
CHAUTAUQUA — Chautauqua Theater Company Artistic Directors Vivienne Benesch and Ethan McSweeny are proud to announce “Variations on a Theme” by Anna Ziegler, the first CTC/NPW production of CTC’s 25th anniversary season. The show will run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thursday’s performance is at 8 p.m., Friday’s performance is at 4 p.m. and Saturday’s performance is at 2:15 p.m. Following a young playwright through her blossoming career and waning relationship, “Variations on a Theme” is a lyrical meditation on love and loss — and a writer’s power to put them in perspective.
