World Premiere Adaptation of the classic Western

Shane, a mysterious stranger, shows up at the Starrett homestead in the Wyoming Territory in 1889. Though he seems to be hiding a dangerous past, he’s offered a job as a farm hand and settles in with the Starretts: Joe, his wife Marian, and his son Bob, our narrator. When Joe refuses to sell his land to open range rancher Fletcher, it sets up a deadly showdown that alters the fates of everyone involved.

DEAD GIRL’S QUINCEAÑERA at Goodman Theatre in the Owen

Sat, Oct 3 · 2:00 PM CDT

Goodman Theatre, 170 N Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL, US

DEAD GIRL’S QUINCEAÑERA
By Phanésia Pharel
Directed by Melia Bensussen
https://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/dead-girls-quinceanera/

Detective skills: unverified. Determination: unmatched.

FACT: Maria was last seen at her Quinceañera. FACT: The party ended early due to an unknown emergency. FACT: Maria has not responded to any messages in 19 hours. Now, her three best friends—armed with confidence, questionable clues and zero adult supervision—are on the case, racing against the clock to find out what happened. The pressures of Latine girlhood punctuate this joy ride through the power and pleasure of adolescent friendships—a comic thriller of secrets, sisterhood and solving crime.

Collective World Premiere with Barrington Stage Company and Hartford Stage.

Running time TBA
