Living, Breathing Things, by Joshua Brewer, will have three performances: Friday, April 17, at 7 pm, and Saturday, April 18, at 2 pm and 7 pm. This is a Creative 360 production directed by Laura Brigham, who is well-known to Festival 56 audiences as an actor, director, and as Festival 56’s former casting director. Sarah isn’t afraid when an unknown intruder breaks into her Chicago apartment. Mitchell is brand new to breaking and entering. Instead of calling the cops, however, Sarah teases him about his poor attempt at burglary and what ensues is 24 hours of stories shared, arguments lost, and laughter a-plenty. Two lonely people finding comfort in each other’s presence will remind the audience we are all merely human doing the best we can with what we have. Presentation of Living, Breathing Things is supported by the Arts Midwest GIG Fund, a program of Arts Midwest that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional contributions from the Illinois Arts Council.
