It’s the summer of ’86. Top Gun has just come out. Halley’s Comet has just left the vicinity. Hands Across America is inspiring people to hold hands…across America. And four young metalheads — ie. the Party Lords — have just graduated high school and are reckoning with the intimidating prospect of leaving adolescence behind forever. Before the reckoning, though, The Last Hurrah! WE RIDE, is a dirtbag picaresque accompanying the Party Lords on the road trip to end all road trips as they criss-cross the country following Whiplash — their favorite British thrash-metal band — on a summer tour before plunging headlong into the rest of their unfathomable lives.

Fifty years ago, a ragtag band of radical nuns in combat boots, wild-haired priests and their gonzo friends became accomplished cat-burglars in an effort to sabotage the war in Vietnam. They napalmed the files in city squares. They traded blows with J. Edgar Hoover. They did everything they could to destroy the war machine. This podcast explores a bizarre time in American history when patriotic radicals took on every other institution that dared stand in their way, and showed us, briefly, what we could still become.

EVANSTON SALT COSTS CLIMBING is a heartbreakingly funny new play about climate and change.
I SAW MY NEIGHBOR ON THE TRAIN AND I DIDN'T EVEN SMILE
A world premiere by Suzanne Heathcote, show runner for season 3 of KILLING EVE.
This is Rebecca’s life: she wakes up, eats a sensible breakfast, wraps herself in three layers, drives to the train station, commutes to her bookkeeping job in the city, watches the clock, goes home, cooks dinner for her domineering mother, watches TV, and falls asleep grieving for her dead dog. Every day is the same as the next until Rebecca’s underachieving brother begs her to take care of her troubled niece—and she does what she always does—she lets it happen. In an unforgivingly bitter month, three generations of women with nothing in common, except a deeply buried ache, try to keep the cold away.
