What we’re about
WSTM is a passionate theater group that meets monthly to delve into the vibrant live theater scene of the Chicago Western Suburbs. Our primary goal is to watch the shows that you're most excited about and immerse ourselves in an enjoyable experience while forging new friendships.
Whether you're a first-time attendee or a seasoned theater enthusiast, you'll find a warm welcome among us.
Theater is a deeply personal encounter, and what captivates one person might not resonate with another. That's why we invite a few of our members to gather for a post-play discussion over drinks, sharing our diverse experiences and perspectives.
If you're involved in a stage production or have a recommendation for a performance that our West Suburban Theatre Meetup participants would appreciate, please feel free to message me with the details. We're always open to exploring new theatrical endeavors!

The Riverfront Playhouse Presents
STICK FLY
by Lydia R. Diamond
https://www.riverfrontplayhouse.com/The affluent, African-American LeVay family is gathering at their Martha’s Vineyard home for the weekend, and brothers Kent and Flip have each brought their respective ladies home to meet the parents for the first time. Kent’s fiancée, Taylor, an academic whose absent father was a prominent author, struggles to fit into the LeVay’s upper-crust lifestyle. Kimber, on the other hand, is a self-described WASP who works with inner-city school children, fits in more easily with the family. Joining these two couples are the demanding LeVay patriarch, Joe, and Cheryl, the daughter of the family’s longtime housekeeper. As the two newcomers butt heads over issues of race and privilege, long-standing family tensions bubble under the surface and reach a boiling point when secrets are revealed.

Farewell, Mr. Poe
In the last four days of his life, Edgar Allan Poe drifted in and out of consciousness before he died. Where did his mind wander in those final hours? Perhaps through a dark forest, confronting the ghosts of his past? Find out for yourself if you dare, as the paths wind through Poe’s life and poetry, until he finally confronts his earthly departure.Presented by The Morton Arboretum at The Morton Arboretum, Lisle IL
