Based on the true story of Abigail Burgess, a young lighthouse keeper’s daughter, living on a rock 25 miles off the coast of Maine, this is a one-woman play filled with humor and heroism, about keeping the lights on at any cost. Jenny Connell Davis was commissioned by Chance Theater to write this powerful one-person show as part of the OTR New Works program.
