Lakeside Players, Inc. Presents:

Romance in D
by James Sherman

May 2nd-17th, 2008

This play takes place in two side-by-side apartments in present-day Chicago. Charles Norton, a musicologist, lives in one apartment alone with his books and music. Isabel Fox, a poet on the verge of a divorce, moves into the other apartment and puts her head in the oven in a half-baked suicide attempt. Charles smells the gas and inadvertently becomes Isabel’s savior. These characters use their knack for music and words as they nervously navigate the path of true love.

Pigs ears. I’m sure that’s what she said. I switch the phone to my other ear, and ask Cherie if she’s pulling my leg. She assures me this is true, naming the local butcher shop where she’d go to replenish her stock. Looking at Cherie’s sophisticated digital artwork, it is hard to believe that her early training as an artist involved using pigs’ ears as a canvas.

The Kenosha Writers’ Group has been meeting for two years in gallery lofts, members’ homes, and coffee shops throughout Kenosha. They gather on the third Thursday of each month to offer support through the writing process and to share in the joy of completed projects.

Membership is open to anyone who writes, whether professionally or for pleasure, any genre or format, and is looking for open, honest feedback about their writing.

Please visit the Kenosha Writers’ Group website for more information.
