I DO TODAY - The World Premiere!
By Sarah Myers Directed by Jacob Harvey A Co-Production with The Greenhouse Theatre Center September 2 - October 9, 2016 The Greenhouse Theatre Center 2257 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL. 60614 Failed relationships, former lovers, and half eaten wedding cake clutter the mind of one Jewish woman determined to track the trajectory of love and loss in her life. I Do Today builds a constantly confounding and quickly changing family tree of many marriages (and even more divorces), posing questions about how modern marriage fits into old ideals. Bisexuality, kabbalah and baby teeth dangle from the branches of this thoughtful play exploring how we might use our inheritances to re-imagine what’s possible. |
