Vivid Stage presents "Gemstones" by Phoebe Farber

Saturday, April 26, 2025 @ 8:00pm



Oakes Center
120 Morris Avenue, Summit, NJ 07901

An original series that can be viewed in its entirety or singly. Each performance will begin with a recap of previous episodes!

A family jewelry business is in crisis. Estelle, the matriarch, is trying to maintain the company's aesthetic of "elegant, not fancy" in the wake of her husband's recent death and despite her children's bickering over the future path of Estelle Jewelry. Meanwhile, a documentary filmmaker has been invited to create content and promote the business on social media, so the family's dirty laundry is now embarrassingly on view. Which skeletons in whose closets will come to light? What romantic and financial shenanigans are brewing? And what will the personal and financial fallout be from the rapid transformation of the family business?

Cast: Nicole Callender, Clark Carmichael, Harry Patrick Christian, Laura Ekstrand, Noreen Farley, Dave Maulbeck, Scott McGowan, Becca Landis McLarty, Daria M. Sullivan, Jason Szamreta, Harriett Trangucci, Emaline Williams, and many Special Guests!
