Set during the months preceding the Supreme Court's landmark decision on gay marriage, Mitera tells
the story of the Sheridan sisters who discover their mother, upon her
death, has left their entire inheritance contingent on the youngest
sister marrying within a year. If she fails to do so everything goes to
their oldest male cousin in Greece. Mitera examines the idea that sometimes the people we’ve known our entire lives are the people we know the least.Mitera was written by Chicago playwright Maria Burnham and directed by Letitia Guillaud. It stars Allison McCorkle as Olga Sheridan, Holly Robison as Nitsa Sheridan, Lilly Apostolou as Dimitra Sheridan, Patricia Tinsley as Sharon Kaskalis and Michael Wagman as Dimitris Kokkinakis.
