Performed at Chief O'Neill's Pub and Restaurant, 3471 N. Elston in Chicago Irish Theatre Of Chicago continues its annual - free to the public - THREE PINTS Staged Reading Series, presenting fresh new works in an intimate atmosphere, inviting feedback and insight while enjoying a pint with our friends and supporters. Performed by members of the ITC ensemble with select guest artists, the festival is held at Chief O'Neill's Pub. NO ROMANCE by Nancy Harris Ac triptych of one-acts exploring the themes of love and bonds of affection, playwright Harris takes us on a journey across the Emerald Isle to examine the far-reaching ripples of human interactions and how interwoven are all of our threads. Hailed as "bracingly witty, alert and incisive" CORKTOWN '57 by John Fazakerley Family dynamics and political ire mix it up in CORKTOWN 57, playwright John Fazakerley's powerful family drama about the IRA operating in Philadelphia's Irish quarter and the split when a British officer shows up in America, using his unwitting brother to open secret negotiations with a moderate IRA commander --- who happens to be his cousin. Events spiral out of control resulting in a tragedy on a Shakespearean scale. TINY LITTLE FISTS by Karen Tarjan The St. Valentine's Day Massacre: An iconic scene in Chicago's Irish history. But what happened next door to that infamous garage on February 14, 1929? A high-octane, rat-a-tat tale of one connected guy who wants to get the hell away from the gang. He got himself in... Can he get himself out? |
