After more than a year of writing, rewriting and revising, City Lit Theater Company is producing the world premiere of my play POSIN', or AIR FOR NORMAN ROCKWELL at their 2017 Art of Adaptation Festival. Based on Friedrich Schiller’s poem “Die Ideale” and inspired by a true story, POSIN' takes us to 1938, where in the middle of the Atlantic aboard the German ocean liner S.S. Bremen, dedicated Nazi art minister Adolf Ziegler is preparing a quiet young woman named Kirsten for a modeling session when their afternoon is disrupted by a shy and stuttering visitor, famed Saturday Evening Post cover illustrator Norman Rockwell, en route to London for a mysterious purpose. As Rockwell speaks with both the artist and the model, some dark truths about America, sexuality, painting and politics will be revealed, along with a haunting secret about what it means to truly give your all to art.
The extraordinary cast features Carissa Meyer, Bob Romay and Nathan Randall Miller, and our dramaturge/assistant director is the brilliant Kendall Alaine Reasons. The play will have two performances, one on Saturday, July 29th, 2017 at 7:30pm and one the following afternoon, Sunday July 30th, 2017 at 2:00pm. Tickets can be purchased at the following link:

The play presents adult content, themes and nudity so no children under seventeen allowed. The City Lit Art of Adaptation Festival is a glorious event full of dazzling visuals and including the work of some of the finest writers, actors and directors working in Chicago today: this will be my third play in the Art of Adaptation Festival and my third time directing one. Myself and the POSIN' team are working hard to bring you a true work of art, so get your tickets today.
Can't wait to see you there!
Always,
Mark Mason
