Theater is proud to announce American Blues Theater is hosting a staged reading
of the 2014 Blue Ink Playwriting Award-winning play Comden Mall Community Activists, by Chicagoan Douglas Post, Sunday,
June 29 at 4:30 p.m. at Greenhouse Theater Center, Upstairs Studio, 2257 N.
Lincoln Ave., directed by American Blues Theater Ensemble member Heather Meyers.
On Chicago’s coldest night of the year, a group of
concerned neighbors gather in the back room of a library to discuss a shooting
that has left a local young man dead. The meeting grows longer, tempers
grow shorter and accusations begin to fly
as the group faces the realities of the recent death, crime, gangs, graffiti
and their own prejudices and perceptions.
Comden Mall Community Activists featured performers include Steve Pickering,
Celeste Williams, Jim Leaming*, Ian Paul Custer*, Dara Cameron* and Kate
Buddeke*.
