Route 66 Theatre Company's production of John Kolvenbach's On an Average Day sold out its inaugural run in Los Angeles, where critics lauded it as passionate, intense, and brilliantly acted. Lucky for us, the same cast accompanies the play to Chicago for its Midwest premiere. Black comedy meets psychological drama in this story of two estranged brothers — an uptight neatnik and a paranoid recluse — who meet again in a run-down apartment after decades apart. The characters sift through the shards of their family history, contending with the jarring power of memory, the weight of guilt, and the distant possibility of redemption.
