The Gift Theater Company: the Ruby Sunrise July 28, 2010

'The Ruby Sunrise' charts the course of television: from idealism and sparks of genius to promises fulfilled and compromises brokered. The story starts with a young girl named Ruby setting off from a farm in Indiana to turn her dream of the first all-electrical television system into a reality. It then jumps forward to a McCarthy-era New York TV studio where Ruby's heirs fight over how her story should be told. The Gift's production arrives after a critically acclaimed, sold out, extended run. Gift artistic director Michael Patrick Thornton from ABC's 'Private Practice' and Brenda Barrie return with the entire original cast.
