The Side Project Theatre Company presents the world premiere of Laura Eason's new play, Rewind, running November 20-December 20th. This production is directed by Anna C. Bahow and features Cyd Blakewell, Zack Buell, Chip Davis, Shane Kenyon and Zack Schneider.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. They were the next big thing in rock. But Noah walked away. Elisha married that asshole. And now Jim's dead - leaving them all to wonder - "How did we get here?"
Starting in 1998 and told backwards, Rewind follows the life of a would-be rock musician from his premature death to his teenage dreams of a music career. Partly based on Eason's experiences in Chicago's independent music scene in the 90s, the play asks what success means when loyalities and lifelong dreams are intertwined.
The show runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 3pm, with previews on November 17-19. Tickets cost $18 and can be purchased on www.brownpapertickets.com.
The side project connects Chicago's most innovative and engaging writers, directors, designers, and performers in an ongoing exploration of the power of hyper-intimate theatre. By bringing together established talent and emerging up-and-comers, they foster new partnerships, explore new creative territory, and celebrate the best of Chicago storefront theatre.
