Dr. Ride’s American Beach House

Written by LIZA BIRKENMEIER

Directed by BIRDIE LA BARRE and SIMONE LAPIERRE​


It’s 1983, the evening before Dr. Sally Ride’s historic space flight. Hundreds of miles from the launch, a group of women with passionate opinions and no opportunities sit on a sweltering St. Louis rooftop watching life pass them by. Their uncharted desires bump up against American norms of sex and power in this intimate snapshot of queer anti-heroines.
