Photo Flash: TimeLine Theatre Co. Presents A WALK IN THE WOODS

By:

TimeLine Theatre Company starts the most ambitious season in its 15-year history with two productions presented at two locations, opening within three weeks of each other.

The company's 15th Anniversary season begins with the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-nominated A Walk in the Woods by Lee Blessing, directed by TimeLine Associate Artistic Director Nick Bowling, August 22 - November 20, 2011 (previews August 18 through August 21) at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago. Press Opening performances of A Walk in the Woods are Sunday, August 21 at 6 p.m. and Monday, August 22 at 7:30 p.m.

To purchase tickets or for more information about A Walk in the Woods, call the Theater Wit Box Office at 773.975.8150 or visit timelinetheatre.com.

Two superpower arms negotiators - one a witty but cynical Russian veteran and the other an idealistic American newcomer - meet informally in the woods after long, frustrating hours at the bargaining table. TimeLine presents this compelling play with a twist, with the two characters (originally written as two men) portrayed by TimeLine Company Members Janet Ulrich Brooks and David Parkes. Their absorbing, revealing and humorous conversations are a brilliant meditation on both the eternal hope and relentless futility of high stakes politics.

A Walk in the Woods was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for Best New Play, and Time magazine called it "a work of passion and power with the ring of political truth."
