The Heath
Jan 17 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
The Warehouse Theatre
Lauren Gunderson was named the most produced playwright in the nation this year by
American Theatre Magazine. It’s no wonder given how engaging her characters are and how her stories bril-
liantly explore vital human stories. In the latest production from The Warehouse Theatre she turns the focus
to herself and her extended family. Given that her grandfather, a prominent presence in the play, lived and
worked locally, cities and other landmarks of the Upstate region play key elements in the show.

THE HEATH features hallmarks of Gunderson’s work with a powerful female character driving the action and a
wide array of elements from science to Shakespeare to banjo aiding the story as it springs to life. THE HEATH
explores the relationship between a grandfather and granddaughter who are different in every possible way
and uses that framework to plumb the depths of how we reconcile dissimilarities in those we love.

The charming, heartwarming play will feature one of Greenville’s most popular performers, Miranda Barnett,
who originated the leading role of the narrator in the world premiere at Merrimack Repertory Theatre earlier
this year. Barnett taught herself banjo in order to embody Gunderson’s protagonist on stage.
The play runs January 10 -26 and is 90 minutes in length. 
Blue Star Theatre discounts for veterans and active military apply throughout the run. I Pay What I Can Sun-
day is January 12th at 3:00pm with tickets being sold on a first come, first serve basis starting at 2:15pm.

We learn about the highs and lows the girls have experienced in the past decade and are charmed to find that no matter what life throws their way, they will conquer it together.
