American Blues Theater To Premiere ROAN @ THE GATES

American Blues Theater continues its 2019-2020 Season with the Chicago Premiere of Roan @ The Gates, written by Christina Telesca Gorman* and directed by Lexi Saunders. Roan @ The Gates runs January 31, 2020 - February 29, 2020 at Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago. The official press opening is February 6, 2020 at 7:30 p.m.

Nat is an outspoken civil rights attorney; Roan, the quiet one, is an NSA analyst who isn't even allowed to tell her wife the location of her next business trip. A long-time couple confronts questions about their marriage they never thought to ask as their personal relationship collides with national security.

Roan @ The Gates replaces the previously announced Women's Work, which has been postponed for a future season.

The creative team includes Sarah E. Ross* (scenic), Jared Gooding* (lighting), Lily Grace Walls* (costumes), Eric Backus* (sound). The production and stage manager is Shandee Vaughan.*
