A Farce

Failure: A Love Story

by Philip Dawkins

Directed by Ron Newell

May 12 - June 4, 2023

Follow Mortimer Mortimer as he falls in love with the three Fail sisters, Nelly, the youngest, Jenny June, the middlest, and Gerty, the eldest (in that order), as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow this magical, musical farce where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.

Our cast features Kierstan Kathleen Conway as Jenny Fail, Assad Khaishgi as John N. Fail, Noah Pekari as Mortimer Mortimer, Eliza Rodriguez as Nelly Fail, Persis Sosiak as Gertrude Fail and Patrick Carroll, Jon Fancher, Beth Gaertner and Lou Will as the Chorus
