The playwright offers us a pair of female characters who are strong, assertive and believable -Steadstyle Chicago

Meg Harkins makes a charmingly ingenuous mythologizer, while April Taylor delivers a mature and irony-free performance as the object of her admiration, flanked by Heidi Katz, Billy Fenderson, Jessica Thigpen and Jeff Taylor playing an assortment of aesthetes and philistines immediately identifiable to their practicing real-life counterparts.

BECOMING INGRID by Liza Lentini
NOVEMBER 12-DECEMBER 5, 2009
Thursday-Sunday at 7:30p
No performances on 11-26 & 11/27
Additional Performance on 11/22 at 3p
Stage Left Theatre, 3408 N. Sheffield Ave
Tickets: $20 at the door/$10 Industry Tickets Thurs/Sun.

Becoming Ingrid was previously seen at the Chicago DCA Theater as part of the INCUBATOR series, a workshop series designed to support the creation of new work by emerging Chicago theater companies.

Set in the dank, gray moors of Scotland, this fantastical excursion follows a loveable American woman named Christine and her obsessive quest to be close to her favorite author, Ingrid. While narrating with the fervor of an aspiring writer, the humorously skittish Christine attempts to appropriate Ingrid's character, and in the process is unwittingly forced to deconstruct her own illusions of love and happiness, unpredictably affirming the age-old proverb that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Becoming Ingrid is directed by Jamie Stires and features Meg Harkins, April Taylor, Jeff Taylor, Billy Fenderson, Heidi Katz and Jessica Thigpen.
