The Three Oaks Theater Festival welcomes attendees to enjoy a special performance of "The Normal Heart." This rare performance will feature a reunion of the original TimeLine Theatre cast including Jeff Award Winner Marc Grapey and MacArthur Fellow David Cromer. The story follows a passionate activist’s (portrayed by Cromer) journey to raise awareness of AIDS. Originally premiering in 1985 Off-Broadway, TimeLine Theatre’s production in 2013 was the first and last time Chicago was the host for the classic play. The play will run Saturday, July 12 at Vickers Theatre. Tickets cost between $25 and $50.
