Chicago-Area World Premiere of Liana Sonenclar's The Years Between Us
Developed with New York Stage and Film, Opens October 15
Jonathan James Productions presents the world premiere of The Years Between Us, a new play by Liana Sonenclar, directed by Liam Pietrzyk. Developed with New York Stage and Film, the play previously received a New York reading starring AnnaSophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia), Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things), and Tony nominee Julia Lester (Into the Woods). This production features Kate Cvengros, Julian Rus, and Michaela Horn, with performances October 15, 16, and 18 at The Lodge Performing Arts Center in Elgin.
The Years Between Us is a comedy with heart about three young people caught between childhood and adulthood. When Lacey (25) unexpectedly returns home, the kids she once babysat, Josh (17) and Tessa (15), are reunited with their childhood hero, just as each of them is struggling to grow up. Josh needs a date, Tessa needs a punching bag, and Lacey needs a lot. In a world without role models, can these three make it through together?
