Photo Flash: Northlight Theatre Presents CURVE OF DEPARTURE

In a cramped motel room in New Mexico, a "ragtag little group of humans" gathers in anticipation of the funeral of a man they loved but did not like. But the dearly departed is not their only concern, as they grapple with the demands of ordinary life and the decisions of an uncertain future.

Northlight favorite Mike Nussbaum returns as the patriarch of an unconventional family in this delicate and gently comic drama.

The Box Office is located at 9501 Skokie Blvd, Skokie. 847.673.6300; northlight.org
