“The Awakening” by Kate Chopin is adapted for the stage by Henry I. Schvey and presented by St. Louis Actors’ Studio at the Missouri History Museum March 13-23. This is a story about a wife and mother in late 19th-century New Orleans who dares to challenge the mores imposed upon her by society. The journey of self-discovery that follows makes us question whether her actions are liberating or merely selfish.
— Cindy Kahn, assistant to the chair, Performing Arts Department in Arts & Sciences
