The Cure: An Adirondack Story  by Frederic Glover
Director/Production Designer: Kent Streed
Assistant Director/Sound Design: George Cordes
Stage Manager: Peggy Orman

A world premiere of a play written by Canton, NY, playwright Frederic Glover and inspired by actual people and events in Saranac Lake, NY, during the summer of 1936. A writer, Margaret, from New York City is seeking “the cure” for her case of tuberculosis at the famous Saranac Lake health resort. Her story intertwines with the life and struggles of Dr. Edward Trudeau, a driven, deeply compassionate man who devoted himself to finding a cure for the dread disease during the late 1800s. The stories of Margaret and Dr. Trudeau combine to celebrate the importance of community in healing and the many sides of the natural world while emphasizing the struggle to transcend a deadly pandemic. Featuring cast and crew from across the North Country!

STARRING:
TBA as E.L. Trudeau, Laura-Jean Swanson as Lottie Trudeau, Jason Brill as Dr. Loomis, Laura Farrell as Margaret, Sean Orman as Frank, Megan Land as Cora, and William Sandiford as Tyler 

Two of our performances will also feature the Cure Porch on Wheels from Historic Saranac Lake.
