Two years in development, my play ANGEL DOWN AT LOVE is finally ready for its first public performance, in a FREE staged reading, one night only, Tuesday June 2nd at Black Rock Pub & Kitchen, 3614 N Damen Ave in Chicago, Illinois. Take a trip to Dallas, 1963: a terminally ill teacher's senior drama class is preparing their annual "Tribute to American Poetry" recital; a violent manic-depressive from Chicago attempts to run a stripclub with a combination of generosity and violence; a divorced policeman's proposal to an exotic dancer humiliates his teenage daughter, two high school girls plot to disrupt the Homecoming queen's imminent deflowering, a hard-drinking right-wing fanatic schemes to get incendiary fliers printed by a black friend at the Texas School Book Depository where a tormented ex-Marine stacking books on the sixth floor starts a diary of his failures that prompts one last try for glory and meaning. Romance sparks and dreams burn bright, as Big D and all its scared and hopeful citizens prepare for the visit of President John F. Kennedy.
Starting at 7:30 (though please come early to enjoy dinner from Black Rock's awesome menu) see a FREE staged reading about one of the most shocking events in American history, told from a brand new perspective and featuring a cast of Chicago's very finest actors, featuring the outstanding Ali Burch, Wardell Julius Clark, Rebecca Flores, Joe Goldammer, Rob Grabowski, Sasha Kostyrko, James Lusk, J.B. Meyer, Carissa Meyer, Brian Muldoon, Katy Nielsen, Kein P.
