Behind the work

A city. A family. A changing world.

Lee Kirk’s Ashland Avenue grew from memories of living in Chicago. In his account for Goodman Theatre, he describes returning to those memories as part of his writing practice.

The play developed through Goodman’s New Stages Festival before opening its centennial season. Its story of a family and a neighborhood business brings questions of change and belonging into close focus.
