Lots of openings this week! Jack Lemmon Returns, The Beatles & Friends and Miracle on South Division Street hit the stage this weekend. Check out this weekend’s Hot Happenings for details.
The Chicagoland premiere of MIRACLE ON SOUTH DIVISION STREET opens this Sunday at Theatre at the Center! From the urban streets of Buffalo, NY’s East Side, comes the story of the working-class Nowak family as they cope with tested faith and life’s surprises. Dudzick is the writer of the beloved comedy “Over the Tavern”, which became a Theatre at the Center hit, and was also previously a long-running commercial success at The Mercury Theater – both under William Pullinsi’s direction.

Continuing in a tradition of storytelling and music, Hershey Felder will present the World Premiere of Chris Lemmon in JACK LEMMON RETURNS, a new play with music. The production is written and directed by Hershey Felder and based on the true story of the legendary Jack Lemmon (Mister Roberts, Some Like it Hot, Days of Wine and Roses, The Odd Couple) and his relationship with his son, actor and musician Chris Lemmon (Duet, That’s Life, Lena’s Holiday, etc.).
