Join us for Failure: A Love Story, our 2026-2027 Main Stage Fall Play!
Here's what to expect...
By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead – expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual‘s successes or failures. (From Concord Theatricals).
And we'd be amiss not to mention the parakeets, talking snake, the ever-watching clocks, and the wonderful gramophone who make up the world of Fail Clock Works. Come fall in love with this dark comedic fairy-tale set in 1920s Chicago.
Recommended for Middle School students and up.
Content Warning - while the script and characters are PG, the play does deal with death, loss, and grief. The play uses comedy to explore these concepts, so we encourage everyone to use their own personal discretion as to their viewing preferences.
