Hope Throws Her Heart Away is a comedy/drama about a woman who has gone adrift trying to be all things to all people, pleasing everyone but herself. It's the journey of growing up after growing up and finding a path by getting lost. In tune with Hope's conflicted personality, this is a one woman show performed by three actresses.
Says playwright Susan Goodell: "I see human behavior as often absurd, so experience my quirky comedy as stringent realism. I find drama in small everyday actions, heroism in everyday people and a treasure of humor in the stumbling of everyday speech."
Hope Throws Her Heart Away will be presented at the Alley Stage, 4147 N. Broadway, Chicago from November 27 to December 20. Tickets are $30 with discounts for students, seniors and groups of 10 or more.
Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets are available on Brown Paper Tickets and on Goldstar. There is no performance on Thursday, November 26 (Thanksgiving Day)
The theater is handicapped accessible. Due to the intimate nature of the space, there is no late seating.
