Hi, everyone!

After workshops and staged readings, Refracted Light by Dana Hall is getting its world premiere in Chicago!

See the world premiere of Refracted Light at the Edge Theater Thursdays through Sundays from August 29-September 27! Get tickets here!

Lucy is preparing for Penny to leave for college when she discovers information that casts doubt on whether now is the right time. Before she can address her concerns, an unexpected turn of events occurs—Penny goes missing. With loss, mental health struggles, and a whirlwind of changes, the family finds itself unraveling. The question arises: How can a typical suburban family cope with these challenges without losing their sanity?

Cast (in order of appearance):

Penny Harris: Jamie Lee
Ted Harris: Zach Kunde
Lucy Harris: Jessica Lauren Fisher
Dr. David Daker: Charles Schoenherr
Becky Mazur: Kim Wilson Buck

Director: Natividad Selgado

Produced by Eclectic Full Contact Theatre

Being Penny Harris is such a wonderful gift. As part of this world premiere, we really got to help shape and mold our characters as we watched them grow from our first workshop reading, to our first official rehearsal, to even now, as we prepare to open! Through our workshops and staged readings, Dana told all of us in the cast specifically how we each helped breathe even more life into these characters and were in her head as she further refined the script. I find it so amazing that I get to bring Penny to life for the first time and introduce her to the world.

Come see us in Refracted Light!
