West Chicago's Gallery Theater opened its sixth season with a look at a variety of relationships; closes October 4
Gallery Theater’s production of Relationships in Progress has only 3 more performances: Sunday Sept. 27, Saturday Oct. 3 & Sunday Oct. 4.
Relationships in Progress, written and directed by Carl Zeitler, is made up of six short plays portraying various people in relationships we all can relate to: first dates, co-workers, spouses, siblings, and friendship. Whether fun and light, serious and deep, or some combination of those, the characters deal with their relationships with one another as well as the world around them.
