The Orange
Girls Season - 2007 | 2005-6
In our inaugural season, we featured plays
that examine women’s most traditional roles--wife,
mother, daughter, healer, diviner, temptress,
muse—in non-traditional ways.

Going To See The Elephant by Karen Hensel, Elana Kent Patti
Johns, Sylvia Meredith, Elizabeth Shaw and Laura
Toffenetti
Directed by Deanna Jent
Performed at the JCC, 2 Millstone
Campus Drv.
October 15th-23rd
A tale that follows four pioneering women seeking
redemption in the Kansas wilderness. A refined
couple from New York arrives outside of Ma Wheeler’s
sod hut, desperate for her well-reputed remedies;
Mrs. Nichols’ husband is near death, paying
a dear price for his hope of finding a utopian
life out West. Ma, too, longs to make a new life,
to “go and see the elephant”, but
feels an obligation to her pregnant daughter-in-law
and the family she is trying to hold together
amidst threats of warring tribes, wolves, and
disease. When Etta, a young woman whose smile
belies the past she has had to endure, arrives
from the neighboring homestead to see these strangers
from the East, the forces of curiosity and hope
clash violently with the powers of fear and despair.
