Set in 1961 Georgia, the play concerns four couples — old college friends who’ve known each other for decades — who gather to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of their group. But even best friends keep secrets, and over the course of this evening’s party, a few of those are bound to be revealed. As the evening progresses, celebration leads to disaster as relationships are heavily tested. This intimate, immersive production allows viewers to wander about the “set” at their own leisure as they overseeing all the juicy drama unfolding up close. As reported previously in this blog, Holstein joined the production during its original 2018 run at Windy City Playhouse’s North Side flagship venue.

The show’s sound designer is Columbia College alum Jeffrey Levin ’10, a graduate of the Columbia College Chicago Music Department‘s BA Program in Music with a Composition Concentration. Windy City Playhouse’s resident production manager is Columbia College Theatre Department alum Alex Rhyan ’15, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Theatre.
