xtrasMR. PARKER
Open Space Arts is excited to premiere MR. PARKER, a witty and heartfelt drama about a budding relationship between a middle-aged widower and a much younger man. This captivating new LGBT play explores themes of love, connection, and the complexities of age and desire. Performances run from January 31 to February 16, with shows on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 2:00 PM. Experience the magic of live theater in the intimate setting of Open Space Arts—a classic Chicago storefront theater where just 25 people gather to enjoy powerful, thought-provoking performances. Don’t miss this unique theatrical experience! Critically acclaimed, Mr. Parker has been described by Rex Reed as “A very intelligent, absorbing look at contemporary relationships and the conflicts that keep us all from aging with joy and peace of mind. The writing is both honest and engaging. This play is a real discovery.”
