When an elevator falls in a major city, nine lives intersect in surprising ways, both comic and tragic—through love and sex, poetry and dentistry: in offices, homes, and hotel rooms. Jill longs for Steve, who’s engaged to Barb, who hooks up with Peter, who’s already having an affair with Nan, who’s married to Marty, who subscribes to Elevator World. Meanwhile, nine stories off the ground, Douglas meets Tanya—who’s hoping to get pregnant with Hal—and a little miracle changes hands. By turns hilarious and profound, Hope and Gravity traces the barely perceivable threads that connect us all.
The Towle Theater is pleased to welcome back Martin Downs (Chicago) last seen in Mama’s Boy. The Towle welcomes newcomers Allie Charton (Chicago), Linda Cunningham (LaGrange), Connor Green (Chicago) and Jared Sheldon (Chicago).
