Watermelon Hill

History Theatre
30 East Tenth Street St. Paul

1965. Imagine yourself as a teenage girl - pregnant and unwed. After a painful confession to your mother, you are sent away to the Catholic Infant Home on Cathedral Hill to deliver your baby and give it up for adoption. You are given a new name and strict instructions: "Do not reveal your real name. Do not discuss this episode in your life with anyone. Have your baby, go back to school, and make a fresh start - as if nothing ever happened. Once you leave this place, you must never look back."

  Watermelon Hill Reviews

Star Tribune - Recommended

"...Director Anya Kremenetsky deftly lets Baber Coyle's characters tell their own stories. Sean Dillon and Janet Hayes Trow play a variety of characters on the periphery who might easily be caricatured. The guy who took advantage of young Joan at a party, for example, is someone we see all too often. Dillon lets the script do its work."

How Was The Show - Recommended

"...In rare moments, the monologue-based storytelling does feel a bit too convenient for its purposes, and some dialogue feels too on the nose, but these are minor nitpicks in a show that on the whole can be quite moving. It's not groundbreaking or artistically ambitious, but it's a simple story, told well, with exceptional performances. If you or anyone you know has been touched by adoption, or even if you have not, this show will likely provide an enriching experience."
