The Usual Place
100 So. Maryland Pkwy., Las Vegas, NV 89101
Friends since childhood, Joey and Denny have grown to become policemen in Chicago. Together they face domestic affairs, violence, and the mean streets. Their loyalty, friendship, and trust are tested when a domestic disturbance call takes a turn for the worse.
Director’s Note (from the program)
I tried writing a director’s note filled with erudition and perspicacity. However, much like that sentence, every note I have drafted is at best horribly pretentious. So, instead let me ask you to stick around after the show and share your point of view. Until then, I will leave you with this line from the play that has haunted me since I first read it:
“We should know the eyes of a demon when we see one… It’s our job. Otherwise we end up with demons for friends.”
I’ll see you after the show…
