Theatre NOVA presents:
DRY SUMMER
by Robert Axelrod
WORLD PREMIERE
October 10 - November 2, 2025
Two lives on the rocks; One Ann Arbor summer to start over.
Depressed and longing to get his life back on track, gay, Jewish, twenty-something Ethan returns to his Ann Arbor family home. When he takes a job as a “sober companion” to his recovering alcoholic neighbor, an unconventional friendship ensues. Full of Ann Arbor references, this charming and nostalgic play takes us all home.
The cast features Nick Smathers, Laura Mandernack, Brian Cox, Sarah Burcon.. Directed by Brittany Connors, the production team includes Sam Schikora (set, lights), Toni Davison (costumes), and Elise Blochwitz (stage manager).
