DR RIDE’S AMERICAN BEACH HOUSE
by Liza Birkenmeier
It’s 1983, the evening before Dr. Sally Ride’s historic space flight. Hundreds of miles from the launch, a group of women with passionate opinions and no opportunities sit on a sweltering St. Louis rooftop, watching life pass them by. Their uncharted desires bump up against American norms of sex and power in this intimate snapshot of queer anti-heroines.
DR. RIDE runs June 13-28, 2026 at Burning Coal Theatre in Raleigh.
