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. Imagination Stage’s Acting Conservatory students delve into an exploration Brechtian style, showcasing actors on stage at all times – transforming into numerous characters in full view of the audience. With stripped away set, props, and lighting designs, the actors connect directly with audiences, inviting them into this delightful and highly theatrical production.
