JM Drama presents “Rachel Carson” by Steven Elliott Jackson
In 1957, Rachel Carson had written some of the most beloved books about the sea and ocean life. She would start the daunting challenge, writing “Silent Spring”, a book that would change the course of history and become the most influential book on the environment. What people didn’t know were her struggles hidden from view, the adoption of her great nephew, her growing relationship with Dorothy Freeman and new dangers that would inevitably threaten everything.
The show is written and directed by Steven Elliott Jackson, playwright of award-winning The Seat Next to the King and the 5 time Dora nominee Three Ordinary Men. The show stars Nicole Smith, Oliver Tailby, Chudear Oyual and Martin Glassford. The core production team is rounded out by Assistant Director Shayln Raney, Stage Manager Todd Davies, Set Designer Markus Modil, Lighting Designer Jasmine Rajaballey, Costume Designer Marian Boyer, Prop Designer Ron Green, Poster Designer Nathaniel Voll and Music by Sammy Duke. Join us for an untold story of one woman facing the obstacles of a lifetime while working to save our world in the play, Rachel Carson!
