The Highwood Theatre presents new play 'The Long Way Around'

A new drama by Julia Starr is Highwood's first professional production of the season and part of the Women's Voices Theater Festival

When free-spirited Addie makes the radical decision to leave their small town in Illinois to live openly as a lesbian in Chicago, Luce finds herself at a crossroads: does she accept the nostalgic and familiar love she and Addie once shared as teen-aged girls, riding around in a Subaru with the windows down, or does she continue on her current trajectory, living in the same zip-code as her parents with her fiancé-turned-husband Nathan? Exploring the fuzzy line between friendship and romance in female relationships, The Long Way Around is a pondering on the oft-forgotten “Q” in the “LGBTQ” acronym — questioning.

Performances run October 9th - 25th and take place at The Highwood Theatre (914 Silver Spring Ave, Suite 102)

Tickets are $25 and are available for purchase at http://www.thehighwoodtheatre.org/tickets.html
