Performances begin March 14 for the world premiere of Abby Rosebrock’s Dido of Idaho at Ensemble Studio Theatre. The new comedy follows a hard-drinking musicologist, who, after a heartache and hitting rock bottom, attempts to reconnect with her estranged, evangelical mother.

Mikhaela Mahony (Noise of the Future) directs a cast made up of Layla Khosh (Bull in a China Shop), Dalia Davi (Tía Julia y el Escribidor), Rosebrock, Curran Connor (Kentucky), and Dawn McGee (Cora & Dave Are Getting Older).
