Love is fragile | Glassheart at City Lit Chicago

What are you willing to sacrifice to be the light in someone else’s life?

This story by Chicago-based playwright Reina Hardy is partly about getting in touch with our better nature, rejecting a poor self-image, overcoming your own self-doubts and negative inner dialog and indeed rejecting the opinions of others based on their view of us.

The four-person cast includes Mark Pracht, a Jeff Award winner playing The Beast. Kat Evans, plays an animated lamp called Only. Appearing as The Witch is Elaine Carlson, who has earned two Jeff Award nominations. Completing the cast as the independent Aiofe is Cailyn Murray, a new-to-Chicago actress who moved from Washington DC to Chicago in 2023.

GLASSHEART A CHICAGO PREMIERE written by Reina Hardy is Directed by Artistic Director Brian Pastor through February 23, 2025 at City Lit Theater, 1020 W. Bryn Mawr, on the second floor (accessible via elevator) of the Edgewater Presbyterian Church. Tickets available online at www.citylit.org or by phone at 773-293-3682.
