The intrepid women who trained Navy pilots during WWII will come to life in a free staged reading of Kirsten Dahl Collins’ new play, Making WAVES, at the Vintage Theatre on Sunday, March 8, at 2:30 p.m. Making WAVES follows Swedish farm girl Verna Swenson from a cow barn in Minnesota to the volcanic beauty of Hawaii. This bittersweet memory play was inspired by the wartime experiences of Kirsten’s mother, shown in photo. The theater’s lobby bar will serve cocktails popular in the 1940s. The Vintage Theatre is located at 1468 Dayton St. in Aurora.  A ticketing link will be available in an upcoming issue of the eConnect.
