Footlight Theatre Presents "Love Letters"
Footlight Theatre's latest fundraiser, "Love Letters," on March 1 and 2, eschews the complications of a traditional theater set to hit audiences with an emotional wallop.

CHS to Present Family Theatre Production

Season Opens with Another Premiere at the Towle Theater
The Towle Theater opens its 11th season with the Northwest Indiana premiere of Christopher Durang and Peter Melnick's Adrift in Macao. Set in 1952 in Macao, China, Adrift in Macao is a light-hearted, playful parody of two Hollywood genres; the film noir movies, in which the leading man is always mysterious and can't go home for murky reasons he won't say, and the less known "exotic adventure" movie set in Hollywood versions of China or Morocco or Trinidad.
