New Staged Readings of THE BACHELORS Held in Chicago and Wisconsin
The Bachelors, a new screenplay by Rick Kinnebrew and Martha Meyer, continues its development process with an enhanced reading in Chicago on Wednesday, May 29, followed by a highly anticipated performance in the historic Mineral Point Opera House on Sunday June 2.
Based on a true story, The Bachelors introduces us to Bob Neal, a London interior decorator who returns to his failing Wisconsin hometown of Mineral Point in 1934 and hires a local man, Edgar Hellum, to help him restore a historic rock cottage. It is a humorous and touching look at a life two men spend together. Their restoration anchors what has become a thriving artistic community in Mineral Point today.
The Bachelors was a semifinalist in Pride Films and Plays' Great Gay Screenplay Competition. It features Nelson Rodriguez and Nicholas Stockwell as Bob Neal and Edgar Hellum. Others in the cast include Sam Button-Harrison, David Besky, Joan McGrath, Jamie Smith, Beth Richards, and Tom Chiola. Chuck Berglund directs based on David Zak's original staging.
Tickets are $10 for the Chicago performance, which is May 29 at 7:00 pm at Stage 773, 1225 West Belmont. Tickets can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com or by calling 1-800-838-3006.
