North, the story of Anne Morrow Lindbergh


We just wanted to send a congratulations to our friends, collaborators, and colleagues Jennifer Schlueter, Christina Ritter, Christopher Roche, and Kal Poole. This weekend they are finishing the run of an original play titled North, about the interaction between Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and Charles Lindbergh. The play was produced under the auspices of Christina and Jen's For/Word Company.

They originally produced the play twice at Ohio State, with myself (Nick) playing Lindbergh in one of the productions. This latest run is the biggest yet, in residence at the American Theater Company in Chicago. It ran since the first weekend in June, and both the Chicago Tribune and Time Out Chicago gave it great reviews (as if we had any doubts!).

It's a fascinating play about these three also-fascinating historic characters, based on their actual writings. We can't wait to see where it goes next! You can see photos of the production on the For/Word website, or a trailer here on YouTube.
