Photo Flash: First Look at About Face Theatre's LE SWITCH World Premiere
About Face Theatre opens its 20th Anniversary Season with the world premiere romantic comedy LE SWITCH by Artistic Associate Philip Dawkins, directed by Stephen Brackett and presented by special arrangement with Doug Nevin. LE SWITCH plays now through February 21, 2016 at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago. The press opening is Friday, January 22 at 7:30 pm. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
LE SWITCH features AFT Artistic Associates Mitchell J. Fain and Elizabeth Ledo with La Shawn Banks, Stephen Cone and Collin Quinn Rice.
In the world-premiere romance LE SWITCH, marriage equality finally reaches the U.S. and commitment-shy David finds himself unsure how to react to the nation's honeymoon phase. Nervous in the face of "wedding fever," he retreats to his home full of unopened books and his grieving activist roommate. When his best friend's bachelor party takes him to Montreal, he's unexpectedly swept off his feet by a beautiful young florist. In the months that follow, David and his non-traditional family must decide for themselves what it really means to be committed, what it means to be married and what it means to be queer.
The production team for LE SWITCH includes Joe Schermoly (scenic design), AFT Artistic Associate David Hyman (costume design), Sarah Hughey (lighting design) and Paul Perry (sound design) and Helen Lattyak (stage manager).
