HALCYON THEATRE
Dreams of the Penny Gods, by Callie Kimball
Christ Lutheran Church, 3255 W. Wilson Ave.
Bug is just your average 13-year-old girl who happens to have been born into a criminal family that’s hiding out in a storage facility. So naturally, she’s transformed herself into a high priestess who’s trying to raise the dead. On this particular summer day, her incantations seem to work, setting off an acceleration of events ending in a rough Armageddon that launches her into the world.

An exhibition of the work created will be presented and open to the public for an evening.
