Professional theater and school Windy City Performs (WCP) has announced Del Shores—the mind behind the Sordid Lives series—as its first guest artist-in-residence this fall.
Sordid Lives, Shores’ fourth play, opened in Los Angeles in 1996 and ran 13 sold-out months. In 1999, Shores wrote and directed the film version of Sordid Lives starring Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John, Bonnie Bedelia, Leslie Jordan and Beth Grant, along with most of the cast from the play.
Shores will perform his new production, Six Characters in Search of a Play, the weekends of Sept. 15-16 and 22-23 at the Playhouse @ Jefferson Park, WCP’s performance home at 4766 N. Milwaukee Ave.
NOTE: Workshops which had been planned have been cancelled.
