Redtwist Theatre to Present ALL-AMERICAN as Part of Off-Night Series, 8/3

Scott Weinstein, recent director of the acclaimed play SHE KILLS MONSTERS, tackles the game of football in Redtwist's tiny space as a part of the theatre's new off-night series called MORE RED. ALL-AMERICAN asks the question, "Can the daughter of an ex-NFL player become the next star quarterback?"

ALL-AMERICAN is a sharp and witty family drama about the strife within a "football family," featuring Katie, a 17-year old high-school quarterback encouraged by her hard-driving, ex-NFL dad to be the first woman to play college and pro ball. Katie is an excellent football player, but her practical mom and insightful twin-brother see the writing on the wall: dad's dream is delusional and his goal for his daughter is obsessive. His inability to accept his own post-football life threatens his daughter's physical and emotional well-being, and the stability of the entire family.

The show opens on Saturday, August 3 and runs Saturdays at 3 p.m. as well as Sundays and Mondays at 7:30 p.m until September 9. Tickets are $20 with a $5 discount for students and seniors. For reservations, call 773-728-7529, email reserve@redtwist.org or book online at www.redtwist.org.
