We can’t go back in time, but what if we could start over?
Hailed by critics as an “an Our Town for our time,” this play is by turns poetic and comic, romantic and philosophical. Peter returns to his twenty-year high-school reunion with dreams of winning back Kari, the girl he left behind after an unexpected pregnancy ended their relationship. Standing in Peter’s way is Kari’s bitter-as-ever resentment, her husband and the fact that Peter still hasn’t grown up. As the night progresses, both Peter and Kari are led, through their interactions with a host of characters all played by a virtuosic Narrator, to face the consequences of choices made long ago and start back into life with newfound strength and bittersweet resolve.

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT
CRAIG WRIGHT
Craig Wright is an acclaimed playwright and television writer known for his sharp, unflinching portraits of ordinary people in extraordinary emotional circumstances. Orange Flower Water is one of four of his plays set in Pine City, Minnesota—alongside Molly’s Delicious, The Pavilion, and Melissa Arctic—each exploring the complexities of small-town lives, love, and loss. Wright’s plays have been produced across the country, earning him a reputation for creating intimate, deeply human dramas that resonate far beyond their local settings.
In addition to his work for the stage, Wright has enjoyed an impressive career in television. He was a writer and producer on Six Feet Under and Lost, created the series Dirty Sexy Money and Greenleaf, and contributed to Brothers & Sisters. His writing, whether on screen or in the theater, is marked by compassion, candor, and an unblinking look at the choices that define us.
