Performing Arts at Oakton Stages 'Pyretown'

Three people struggling to maintain their self-esteem and humanity in the age of modern medicine are at the center of "Pyretown," to be staged Friday, April 8, and Saturday, April 9, at both campuses of Oakton Community College.

Playwright John Belluso's critically acclaimed drama focuses on the unlikely romance that develops between Louise, a woman in her late 30s, and Harry, a paraplegic in his early 20s, as they try to navigate a tangled health care system. The pair encounter an unlikely ally in a young physician wrestling with his own crisis of conscience.

The Performing Arts at Oakton presents "Pyretown" at 8 p.m., Friday, April 8, at Studio One on Oakton's Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road, and 8 p.m., Saturday, April 9, at the Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie.

All tickets are $8. To reserve tickets, call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900. For group sales, contact Karol Verson at 847-635-2185.
