Rest for the Weary Spirit- Chicago Premiere: Friday August 18th and Saturday August 19th at Gorilla Tango

8/15/2017

 
Coming this Friday and Saturday is a limited-run Chicago premiere of a play dear to my heart, REST FOR THE WEARY SPIRIT.  REST is a one-woman drama about a mysterious young woman named Melanie (played by Amy Berkovec) who checks into a seedy Illinois motel on June 25th, 2009 carrying a suitcase and a camcorder and proceeds to weave a story of haunting secrets and nightmarish confessions, an epic tale of love, lies and the decay of the American dream writ large in a place called the Hideaway. 

Directed by Julia Rufo and featuring dramaturgy by Kendall Alaine Reasons, REST FOR THE WEARY SPIRIT is an ode to the vanishing Midwestern small town and to the indomitable spirit of a quiet woman determined to prove that she is braver, smarter and stronger than anyone would dream. Make your reservations at the link below and remember to use the code rest2017 to get $5 each ticket!

My creative collaborators and I would love to share this story with you, at a time in history when stories of America in all its history, hope, pain, suffering and dreams need telling more than ever. We hope to see you there. 

Always,
​Mark Mason
