Sunday, December 14th @6:30pm State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. The December 14th Salon will feature three short works by members Candyce Rusk, Priscilla Sample, and Teresa Stankiewicz. Lulu's Charms in the Dark by Candyce Rusk is set in Chicago's Riverview Ballroom in the mid 1940's, and focuses on three women whose fortunes lie with dancing the night away in good shoes...hard to come by and harder to keep. In Priscilla Sample's Lascivious, when her husband dies under unusual circumstances, popular cook and author Lynn Matthews is surprised to find herself a suspect in the police investigation. Duty to Warn by Teresa Stankiewicz Loretta is a young mother with bipolar disorder struggling to balance her emotions. Her dysfunctional family dismisses her troubles as she spirals out of control. The police, the hospital and the therapist all make the required calls espousing their "duty to warn" when Loretta threatens to kill her mother and her children. Ride the roller coaster of emotions that Loretta suffers and experience the consequences of our "duty to warn."
