June of Arc opened on January 14th, 2010 at the Dowling Studio as a part of the Guthrie Theater’s Singled Out: A Festival of Emerging Artists series.
Written for the Minnesota Fringe Festival and remounted at the Guthrie Theater, June of Arc was a fabricated internal monologue for June Cleaver. Her story strained between the need for individual fulfillment and the pull of social expectations for a post-war housewife. Tautly choreographed, her bittersweet story was broken up with live-action interpretations of actual 1950s television commercials.
