On the night Apollo 15 lands on the moon, a draft dodger steals home to Eden Prairie, Minnesota from Canada. He risks arrest to deliver a message to a young woman from his high school class. This beautifully etched play by the writer of The Agitators challenges notions of our own bravery and the true cost of freedom.

Eden Prairie, 1971 is produced at Riverside Theatre as part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other Partner Theaters are New Jersey Repertory Company and Butterfly Effect Theatre of Colorado. For more information, please visit nnpn.org
