'The Tin Woman,' the March Play at Forge Theater in Phoenixville, Explores Heart-Wrenching Transplant Emotions

‘The Tin Woman,’ the March Play at Forge Theater in Phoenixville, Explores Heart-Wrenching Transplant Emotions

January 26, 2025

PHOENIXVILLE PA – “The Tin Woman,” a play that explores “explore loss, family, and what it means to be given new life,” is scheduled for a run of eight performances from March 14-30 (2025) at The Forge Theater, 241 First Ave.

The play, written by Sean Grennan and based on a true story, is directed by Suki. It “uses humor and pathos” to tell the story of Joy, who enters a downward spiral after receiving a heart transplant. “Instead of relishing life,” she is “unsure whether she truly deserves a second chance.”

“Meanwhile, Alice and Hank mourn the loss of their son, Jack, whose heart was used to save Joy. At a friend’s urging, Joy tracks down Jack’s family to find closure. But are Alice, Hank, and their daughter Sammy ready to accept Jack’s death?”

The cast includes Rebecca Robbins as Joy, Miles Noecker as Jack, Elizabeth Toner as Alice, Kevin Wade as Hank, Lindsey Smith as Sammy, and Marcella Ng as Nurse/Darla.

Shows are scheduled for March 14-15, March 21-22, and March 28-29 (Fridays and Saturdays, respectively), all starting at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday matinées March 23 and 30, both at 2 p.m.

Ticket pricing at The Forge Theater is $20 for adults, $17 for those age 62 and older, and also $17 for those age 17 and younger. Tickets for “The Tin Woman” are currently available to the theater’s members and passholders, and go on public sale beginning Feb. 17. When publicly offered, ticket orders can be placed online. For more information, call the theater at 610-935-1920.
