The Elsinore Theatre Ensemble presents Steven Dietz's "Shooting Star" on Sept. 29 to Oct. 15.
Performances will be 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays at First United Methodist Church, 216 E. Highland Ave. in downtown Elgin.
When a snowstorm causes all flights at a regional airport to be canceled, Reed McAllister (played by Jamie Ewing) and Elena Carson (Lori Rohr) are literally stuck -- and left to ponder their past, present and future.
What happens when this former couple has a random chance meeting? Will the changes these two very different people have undergone since their paths parted 30 years ago prevent them from reconnecting?
With a touching and funny script by one of America's most popular playwrights, "Shooting Star" is a play about missed flights and second chances, soon to be the major motion picture "What Happens Later" starring Meg Ryan and David Duchovny.
General admission tickets are $22 or $18 for seniors, students or members of the military. Online fees apply. Tickets are available via eeshootingstar.eventbrite.com.
