Forever Plaid
The Highland Park Players is proud to present FOREVER PLAID, a revue of the four-part, close-harmony “guy groups” that were popular in the 1950s. The production includes 11 performances to be held at the Highland Park Community House, beginning July 29 and running through August 14. A celebration of harmony, innocence and sincerity of dreams associated with this era, FOREVER PLAID shares the heavenly story of four guys – Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie – who love to sing and perform. While en route to their first big gig at the Airport Hilton cocktail bar, the members of Forever Plaid were broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. Although their careers and lives ended, through the Power of Harmony, they are allowed to come back to perform the show they never got to do in life. They play this show for the first time and the last time simultaneously. The production is a blend of sincere acting, powerful and passionate singing, and entertaining choreography.

Location: Highland Park Community House 1991 N. Sheridan Road in Highland Park
