Hailed by critics as an "Our Town" for our time, "The Pavilion" 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 husband and bitter-as-ever resentment. As the night progresses, a virtuosic Narrator, playing a host of characters, leads Peter and Kari to face the consequences of choices made long ago. 

 

... a seamless blend of humor and pathos, philosophy and emotion.
