Raven Theatre Company and Rivendell Theatre Ensemble present The World Premiere of Gorgeous, written by Keiko Green and directed by Kirsten Fitzgerald. Gorgeous runs through June 7th at Raven Theatre, 6157 N. Clark St., Chicago.
Jenny has a simple life; she takes care of the elderly and shows dogs professionally. When her just-a-little-bit-older boyfriend Bill dies suddenly, all Jenny wants is to get rid of his stuff and continue to show his champion Bulldog, GORGEOUS. Enter Bernie, a tornado of a woman. Amid the boxes of things that made up Bill’s life, Jenny and Bernie must find a way forward for themselves and the dog.
