TimeLine Theatre Company, named one of the nation's top 10 emerging professional theatres by the American Theatre Wing, founder of the Tony Awards®, presents the world premiere of My Kind of Town by John Conroy, directed by Nick Bowling, now through July 29, 2012 at TimeLine Theatre, 615 W. Wellington Ave., Chicago.

My Kind of Town is a passionate, groundbreaking new drama revolving around one imprisoned man's fight for justice, inspired by the stories of numerous victims, police officers, prosecutors and families whose lives have been poisoned by allegations of police torture over the past three decades. With interlocking storylines that humanize the play's issues of corruption and responsibility, My Kind of Town sets the stage for a new conversation about today's culture of law and order.

The performance schedule is Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. (except no performance on 6/24). Tickets are $32 (Wednesday – Friday) or $42 (Saturday & Sunday). Student and group rates are available.
