The drama "Rose Colored Glass" will be presented over two weekends in February by the Gallery Theater of West Chicago.

The play, by Sue Bigelow and Janice Goldberg, is set in 1938 Chicago, in the backrooms of Lady O'Riley's pub and Rose Fleishman's delicatessen. It shows the beginning of the Holocaust from our side of the ocean and how two remarkable women struggle not only with American apathy, but also with immigration laws and bureaucracy, in addition to their own prejudices - all in the name of one boy's safe passage from Europe to America.

Directed by Gail Cannata, the show features Carissa Zielinski of Itasca, Kathy Bright of Lombard and Helen Larsen of Elmhurst.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 16-17 and 23-24, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18 and 25, at Gallery Theater, 129 Main St., West Chicago.

Tickets are $16 for adults and $14 for seniors and available at www.Gallerytheaterstudio.org or by calling (630) 234-5919.
