Isis Productions presents “Eleemosynary” by Lee Blessing, a powerful and intimate drama exploring the bonds between three generations of women. Starring Renee Richman Weisband as Dorothea, the brilliant, and emotionally guarded matriarch whose intellect is the only thing higher than her expectations. Gabrielle Warner plays her gifted granddaughter Echo who is a gifted young girl whose extraordinary intelligence isolates her emotionally as she is shaped—and burdened—by her grandmother Dorothea’s relentless pursuit of brilliance.
“Eleemosynary” explores how expectations shape identity and how emotional distance can echo across generations.
