A Night at the Movies

  • The Fasseas Studio at The Menomonee Club 1535 N Dayton St Chicago, IL, 60642 United States (map)

Join our adult ensemble as we celebrate the magic of the silver screen.

Through the course of a 10 week rehearsal process, actors worked with A.B.L.E. teaching artists and volunteer facilitators to build this unique show about the movies that have made a difference in our lives, the actors we look up to, and what makes film the ultimate escape. We'll share original monologues written by the cast and scenes from some of our favorite screenplays in a multimedia performance.
