I'm proud to announce my next play, FROZEN FIRE, will be performed at City Lit Theater Company's annual Art of Adaptation Festival on June 13th and 15th!
FROZEN FIRE: it's 1948 in a dank room on the North Side of Chicago, where a beautiful nightclub singer under the watchful eyes of a young stenographer casts aside a magazine and picks up a dusty poetry volume...but before she can get more than a few stanzas out, the questions begin. Questions about flames, torture, crime and Hell: she would do anything to die rather than talk, but the man asking is going to make her answer for her guilty past and possibly deadly future. Inspired by Amy Lowell's haunting, elegiac poem "A Fairy Tale," the music of Duke Ellington, the film noir classics of the 1940s and the real-life murder of Chicago showgirl Estelle Carey, FROZEN FIRE is about a christening amidst the darkness, nightmares of being alone, and what we're capable of when we lose our innocence.
Starring (from left to right) Rebecca Flores, Benjamin Johnson, Teresa Veramendi and directed by 20% Theatre Company's Development Manager Amy C. Buckler and written by me, FROZEN FIRE will go up Friday June 13th and 15th, times and prices to be announced soon...tickets can be reserved by calling 773-293-3682, and we'll see you there!
