What would you do if you discovered a terrible secret?

This world premiere, commissioned and produced by Music of Remembrance, is based on the true story reported by Chicago Tribune columnist Howard Reich about an ailing Vietnam war veteran who learns he is the heir to a priceless art collection stolen by Nazis. His arduous voyage to Prague in search of his inheritance leads him to embrace an identity that had been hidden from him, and through art, he discovers a deeper truth in his life.

The Chicago performances of Before It All Goes Dark are made possible by Susan and Robert Shapiro. Ryan McKinny’s appearance is sponsored by Amanda C. Fox.
