[il-talk] Chicago Chapter outing to Victor Gardens Theater

[Kelly Doty]

Hello everyone,

You are invited to join members of the NFBI-Chicago Chapter on our outing to 
Victory Gardens theater. We will be attending the Feb. 20, 2011 performance 
of the play, 'The Boys Room.' Mary Lou and I attended a preview of the 
season at Victory Gardens and the scene acted out from this play was very 
entertaining and had us holding our sides laughing. Description of the play 
is:

When the American Dream is out of reach, what is a man to do? In The Boys
Room, ensemble playwright Joel Drake Johnson walks the line exquisitely
between laughter and tears. Two middle aged brothers try to escape their
responsibilities and race each other back to their boyhood bedroom-that
sanctuary where they can dream and scheme without the pressure of the
outside world. One is unemployed; the other is making a living but is not
sure why he should live. The women in their lives are knocking on the door,
filled with questions and, sometimes, love. The Boys Room will feature
beloved Chicago actress Mary Ann Thebus as the mother of the "boys" and
rising star Allison Torem.

Feb. 20 is a Sunday. There is a 'touch tour' before the play starts where 
many of the cast members will introduce themselves and talk about their 
character, props will be passed around, etc. This 'touch tour' starts at 
1:30 and the play begins at 3:00. Tickets are $30. We need to make 
reservations soon so our seats will be together. Please let me know by Nov. 
30 if you would like to reserve seats or if you have questions. 
kelly at dls.net or 847-390-1738. Payment will be due to the NFBI-Chicago 
Chapter by Jan. 22, 2011.
