The North Star

In the play, fourteen year old Isaac's world changes when he finds out his parents' marriage isn't what it seems. So he copes in the only way he knows how; with Robitussin, writing songs, talking to the dead and the dream of a better life in rehab. This quirky tragicomedy about divorce and inspiration is Anthony Ellison's latest new play to be presented at Chemically Imbalanced Comedy.

Playing at Chemically Imbalanced Theater (1422 W Irving Park Rd., Chicago), performances will run Thursday through Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. through October 13. Tickets are $15 and are available at www.cicomedy.com or by calling box office 800-838-3006.

The cast features Leslie Zang, Martin Monahan, Sean Keith, and Volen Iliev, with Drew Wancket understudying.
