Island Theatre will stage a reading of the award-winning play “Marjory Prime,” penned by Bainbridge’s own Jordan Harrison, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22 at the Bainbridge Public Library.

Admission is free. Donations will be accepted.

In the play, set in the near future, a service that provides holographic recreations of deceased loved ones allows an elderly woman to come face-to-face with the younger version of her late husband.

A Bainbridge High School grad, Harrison’s plays have gained wide public acclaim in recent years.

“Marjorie Prime” was a finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize and winner of the 2016 Horton Foote Prize. It also was the basis for an acclaimed feature film adaptation, a $20,000 Sloane Prize winner at Sundance. Now available to view for free via Amazon Prime, the film stars Lois Smith, Jon Hamm, Tim Robbins and Geena Davis, and was directed by Michael Almereyda.

Harrison’s island roots run deep, and if the name’s familiar there may be a good reason — and a special familial link to the library, too.

“Jordan’s parents, still living here, are the celebrated David and Cynthia Harrison,” said Island Theatre spokesman Steve Stolee. “He, an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School, is Senior Lecturer Emeritus of Public Policy and Governance and founder of the Evans School at University of Washington; she, former managing librarian at Bainbridge Public Library and 2006 Library of Congress Librarian of the Year.”

The Island Theatre reading is directed by Tell Schreiber, and features island actors Pat Scott, Blair Nichols, Mark A. Nichols and Tres Cozine.
