The
Great Nebula in Orion is
as much a piece of
musical theater as it is
an extended art song for
two singing actors with
accompaniment. Louise and
Carrie, friends since
their student days at
Bryn Mawr, meet by chance
after not having seen or
spoken withone another in
nearly seven years. They
spend the afternoon at
Louise's apartment
reminiscing about the
past and telling clever
stories of their
contented and, finally
and truthfully, their
discontented lives. The
women in The Great Nebula
in Orion attempt (not
always successfully) to
sing emotions and
sentiments that are
important to them. The
musical becomes as much a
piece about trying to (or
learning how to)
“sing†as it
is about a reunion of two
old friends.
