“Eden Prairie, 1971,” by Mat Smart

June 3, 2022

April 6-29 at the Dairy Arts Center

A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere

About the Play

On the night Apollo 15 lands on the moon, a draft dodger steals home from Canada to Eden Prairie, Minnesota. He risks arrest to deliver a message to a young woman from his high school class. This beautifully etched play challenges notions of our own bravery and the true cost of freedom. Join BETC for this bittersweet romance in the heart of America. 

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