Double Play
DOUBLE PLAY features a full-length dramatic comedy, BRICK WALL, combined with a trio of delightful one acts, THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER THING!
BRICK WALL paints the story of two brothers married to two sisters all living in the same downtown apartment building in contemporary Chicago. When mid-level manager, Jason Zachman, realizes he doesnt have the heart to lay off his employees, he decides to move into a stairwell and spend all his time drawing pictures he sees in the bricks. Has he lost his mind or is he a Zen master of ethical dreaming in a time when there is great stress on the larger American dream? Take a journey down the stairwell with Jason, his devoted wife Cora, his frustrated stockbroker brother Murray, and Murray's wife Sara, a government spokeswoman for economic optimism. Can true love survive in a stairwell?
THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER THING! features a delightful trio of one-act gems.
1. ONLY YOU CAN THINK THAT visits a philosophical café where the quirky proprietor is intrigued by a frustrated consultant who turns peoples small problems into big ones to put their lives into perspective.
2. THAT IS THAT, a play within a play, takes comedy to hyperbolic proportions as the characters negotiate questions of status, power, and control, on two levels of reality at once.
3. FRAGMENTS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION, follows a lonely astronomer who approaches a manuscript typist on the majestic central staircase of the Art Institute of Chicago as the arc of a relationship plays out in miniature in a series of intertwining scenes.
You can attend both performances on one lovely spring day and evening. Or, if you prefer, you can choose your own time for each production, a Saturday matinee, and a weekend evening show, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night, any time during the course of the run!
Once you purchase your DOUBLE PLAY tickets, you will be able to select specific BRICK WALL and THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER THING! performance times March 29 - April 28.
