Emma's Child at CITY LIT THEATER

One of the great Chicago plays. By City Lit's resident playwright, author of VOICE OF GOOD HOPE and THE SAFE HOUSE, it won the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and a half-dozen other playwriting awards when Terry McCabe directed the Chicago premiere at Victory Gardens twenty-five years ago. A Rogers Park couple plans to adopt the child of Emma, a pregnant teenager. What follows threatens their marriage and reshapes what they think of parenthood.
