Brevard College Theatre will present Karen Zacarias’ Legacy of Light on February 24, 25, and 26 at 7:00 p.m. EST, and February 27 at 2:30 p.m. EST. The production will be held at the Morrison Playhouse in the Paul Porter Center for the Performing Arts.
Director Abbey Toot brings us a story of two women scientists, living hundreds of years apart, who explore the meaning of love, motherhood, family, purpose, art and science in this contemporary comedy. Legacy of Light juxtaposes the story of Émilie du Châtelet, a mathematician, scientist and lover of the great 18th-century philosopher, Voltaire, with that of a 21st-century astrophysicist Olivia –both of whom are trying to follow their career passions and balance building a family.
The community is invited to join a discussion after the Saturday and Sunday shows, for conversations with members of the Brevard College Faculty who are actively building their own legacies in the areas of physics and philosophy.
