Sordid Lives Creator DEL SHORES' Teaches 1-night WRITING FROM THE ACTORS POINT OF VIEW - all ability & ages welcome!

Windy City Performs, Chicago's fastest-growing professional theatre and school, is pleased to announce its first Guest Artist-in-Residence this fall. Performer/Creator Del Shores has written, directed and produced successfully across studio and independent film, network and cable television and regional and national touring theatres. Sordid Lives, his fourth play, opened in Los Angeles in 1996 and ran 13 sold-out months. The play went on to win 14 Drama-Logue Theatre Awards, including three for Shores for writing, directing and producing. There have since been over 300 additional stage productions of the play. In 1999, Shores wrote and directed the film version of Sordid Lives starring Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John, Bonnie Bedelia, Leslie Jordan and Beth Grant along with most of the cast from the play. Opening in only eight theatres across the country, the little film that could took in nearly two million dollars in its limited release. The movie became a cult phenomenon and became the longest running film in the history of Palm Springs with record ninety-six weeks. Del Shores calls Dallas his home away from home. All his plays have been produced in and around the Metroplex, with Uptown Players giving him a Dallas theatre home for many years. His movie A Very Sordid Wedding was also mostly filmed in DFW. His standup shows have all been performed at The Rose Room, two of them filmed there. Shores will perform his new play, SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF A PLAY the weekends of September 15-16 and 22-23 at the Playhouse @ Jefferson Park, WCP's performance home. During the week, he will teach three workshops designed for youth & teens, college-age artists, and professional, working actors, directors & writers.
