Marquette University Presents Redwood Curtain A young woman's story of transformation and forgiveness Released: Aug. 10, 2005 MILWAUKEE – Marquette University's Department of Performing Arts presents Lanford Wilson's Redwood Curtain, a story about Geri Riordan, whose mother was Vietnamese and father an American soldier in the Vietnamese War. After the sudden death of her wealthy adoptive father, Geri, an 18 year old piano prodigy, searches for her biological father in the redwood forest owned by her family. Many Vietnam veterans who felt betrayed by America took refuge in this forest. Geri is obsessed with finding her father and tells tall tales to other vets in the forest in an effort to get information. When Geri learns the truth, the truth transforms her life. And through that transformation forgiveness is born. Carolyn Bachhuber directs this production as her senior directing and performance thesis. Jenny Jeep, Nate Miller and Anne Yatco are featured.
