Profiles Theatre Extends World Premiere Of GRACELAND Thru 8/16
Profiles Theatre announces the extension of Graceland, the World Premiere production, written by Ellen Fairey, directed by Matthew Miller. This is the final play of Profile's 20th Anniversary Season. Acclaimed Chicago actress Cheryl Graeff will be joining the cast as Sara for the extended run. Continuing in the roles they originated are Profiles ensemble members Eric Burgher, Darrell W. Cox and Somer Benson and Jackson Challinor. The production has been extended for an additional seven weeks, through August 16, 2009, at Profiles Theatre, 4147 N. Broadway.
Chicago's oldest cemetery is the backdrop for GRACELAND, the story of four lonely Chicagoans whose lives collide one August weekend while the Blue Angels airshow is in town. As fighter jets buzz the skies from dusk till dawn, estranged brother and sister Sam and Sara try to make sense of their father's recent suicide. Sara's one night stand with Joe, an aging lothario, brings further trouble in the form of Joe's mercurial teenage son, Miles. GRACELAND is a World Premiere comedic drama about the loneliness of family, the tenderness of strangers and the unexpected benefits of bad decisions.
Due to popular demand, Profiles will add Saturday matinees at 5:00 p.m., beginning July 11, 2009 at Profiles Theatre 4147 N Broadway.
