I'm very excited that my play After an Earlier Incident is being workshopped May 1st through 4th at the Theatre of Western Springs outside of Chicago.
In the play, a recently widowed woman meets a perpetually awkward man for a first date. Things start off badly and quickly get worse, as both of them try to cope with recent traumas that lie just below the surface.
Edward M. Pinkowski is directing the show, which features actors Tommy Aldis and Katarina Creedon. The piece goes up with The Voodoo Man by Carl Maronich and Yalu River by Nan Gatewood Satter. Admission is free, though donations will be gladly accepted.
The Theatre of Western Springs workshopped the one-act version of my play The Love Songs of Brooklynites back in 2019. Vivid Stages later did a reading of the full play in Summit, New Jersey, but it has yet to have a full production.
If you're in the Chicago area for the first weekend of May, I hope you'll come out to see After an Earlier Incident. Performances will be at 8:00pm on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and then at 2:30pm and 7:30pm on Sunday.
The theatre is located at 4384, Hampton Avenue in Western Springs, Illinois. Maybe I'll see you there!
