Directed by Bucknell Theatre alum Brooke Echnat '21In the near future, Stella and her fiancé, Bryan, are waiting at their remote cabin for Stella's estranged twin sister, Cassie. Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, the twins have taken different paths: Cassie has just returned from a successful moon mission, while Stella left NASA behind. When Cassie arrives, old conflicts reignite, forcing the sisters to choose between life on Earth or pursuing a future in space, as humanity's fate hangs in the balance. WALDEN is a thrilling and engrossing new play that wrestles between the gravitational pulls of duty and desire.

Rooke Chapel's choir will be practicing every Sunday morning at 9:30am lead by Dr. Caleb Hopkins.
