The Bachelors / A Staged Reading

Alley Stage, in partnership with Pride Films and Plays of Chicago, presents a staged reading of The Bachelors, a new screenplay by Rick Kinnebrew and Martha Meyer at the historic Mineral Point Opera House.

Based on a true story, The Bachelors introduces us to Bob Neal, a London interior decorator who returns to his Wisconsin hometown of Mineral Point in 1934 and hires a local man, Edgar Hellum, to help him restore a historic rock cottage.  The Bachelors is a touching look at the relationship that produced Pendarvis, now a popular State Historical Site, and prompted the restoration movement in Mineral Point.

The Bachelors was a semifinalist in Pride Films and Plays’ Great Gay Screenplay Competition. It features Nelson Rodriguez and Nicholas Stockwell as Bob Neal and Edgar Hellum. Others in the cast include Sam Button-Harrison, David Besky, Joan McGrath, Jamie Smith, Beth Richards, and Tom Chiola. Chuck Berglund directs based on David Zak’s original staging.
