“Sometimes I sit here, store’s empty, and I think, how is this the same place where there used to be a line around the corner? I’m busy taking care of my customers, same routine, day by day, year by year… until suddenly one day I’m drowning.”

Pete was never a Chicago legend… but as the owner of an iconic local chain of TV shops, he was the next best thing. Now there’s just one store left, and he’s struggling to keep it afloat. Playwright and screenwriter Lee Kirk presents Ashland Avenue, a stunning new play that explores dying dreams, new beginnings, and the inevitability of change.
