**** Highly Recommended **** If you’ve never been to Lifeline Theatre, you’re missing something really special. At Lifeline, a small (99 seats) theater in Rogers Park, every play they do – for adults and children – is their own literary adaptation. Their absolutely delightful new production, “Northanger Abbey” was adapted by Robert Kauzlaric, with original music and lyrics by George Howe. I give it 4 enthusiastic Spotlights.
“Northanger Abbey” runs through August 13th at Lifeline Theatre, 6912 N. Glenwood Ave., Chicago. Running time is 2 hours, 20 minutes, with an intermission. Performances are Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 pm; Saturdays at 4:00 and 8:00 pm; and Sundays at 4:00 pm. Tickets range from $20-$40. Free parking with shuttle service to the theater is available in Lifeline’s remote lot at the northeast corner of Morse and Ravenswood. FYI (773) 761-4477 or www.lifelinetheatre.com.
