Saw the play Next to Normal Sunday at the Madison Street Theater. I’ve seen it a number of times before, including on Broadway. It is the story of a woman with bipolar disease coping with it along with her family. It is deeply moving, but also humorous. It won the Pulitzer Prize. The production was extremely professional with all of the six voices uniformly great. The theater has not had a lot of opportunity to do advertising, so I’m writing to say that if any of your readers want to see a great play right here in Oak Park, there are two more performances this weekend.
