After countless hours of rehearsals, cue to cues, and excitement, the cast of Failure: A Love Story is ready to take the stage.

Failure: A Love Story takes place in a 1920’s clock shop, owned and operated by the three Fail sisters, and adopted brother. When a newcomer, Mr. Mortimer Mortimer, struts into the shop one day, the Fail sisters’ lives are transformed into a time of romance and tragedy. As each of the Fail sisters fall in love with Mortimer Mortimer, death strikes the family and their Chicago store. 

Failure: A Love Story is a twisting and turning darkly hilarious comedy that is sure to make the audience cry and laugh through a whirlwind of musical talent and lovable characters. Shows are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7pm.
