Northlight Theatre adds a second extension week to The Outgoing Tide
Northlight Theatre, under the direction of Artistic Director BJ Jones and Executive Director Timothy J. Evans, announces the second extension to the run of the World Premiere of The Outgoing Tide written by Bruce Graham, directed by Artistic Director BJ Jones. The Outgoing Tide has been extended by an additional week, now running through July 3, 2011.
After receiving rave reviews, The Outgoing Tide, featuring John Mahoney, Rondi Reed and Thomas J. Cox, continues to break box office records. Northlight had its highest-selling day in Northlight history on Friday, June 23; the previous record was set by this same show earlier in the run. The production has set a new record for online sales.
In a summer cottage on Chesapeake Bay, Gunner has hatched an unorthodox plan to secure his family's future but meets with resistance from his wife and son, who have plans of their own. As winter approaches, the three must quickly find common ground and come to an understanding-before the tide goes out. This new drama, featuring Northlight favorite John Mahoney, hums with dark humor and powerful emotion.
Tony Award winner John Mahoney returns to Northlight after appearing in A Life and Better Late. Rondi Reed makes her first Chicago appearance since her Tony Award-winning turn in August: Osage County and her acclaimed role in CBS's Mike and Molly. Thomas J. Cox, a founding member of the 2011 Tony Award-winning Lookingglass Theatre Company, has previously appeared at Northlight in Pride & Prejudice and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.
