"Controversy can sometimes work to one's advantage. Thanks for bringing quality theater to Chicago's southwest suburbs. Enjoyed both productions!" - Mary Fliris
As fall turns to winter, audiences will suddenly find themselves in summer...Suddenly, Last Summer, a one-act play by Tennessee Williams is half of our theatrical offering for the winter of 2011, telling the story of a wealthy woman and the death of her beloved son. How did he die? That's precisely what his mother intends to find out, but the only witness is her niece whom she is convinced is completely, mentally unbalanced and hence not to be believed. What really happened last summer will shock audiences as much as it does the participants in the story... The other half of our winter performance slot will be filled by award-winning writer Gary Sunshine's Al Takes a Bride, the story of a couple of young lovers from Memphis, Tennessee who face seemingly insurmountable odds and opposition in achieving their dream. Sounds like a familiar story, except that their dream is a simple and common one: to get married, and the year is 1893...and the lovers are named Freda and Alice. With gay marriage still opposed, and in fact illegal in most states, this timely play makes an important statement, and is an equally important part of Spotlight's agenda to educate and promote open-mindedness and tolerance in the community.
