Dominican University Performing Arts Center (River Forest) presents Luigi Pirandello’s metatheatrical masterpiece, Six Characters in Search of an Author. This satirical tragicomedy opens on a theater company’s rehearsal, which is interrupted when six fictional characters show up looking for an author to present their stories. The lines between reality and fiction become blurred as the characters interact with the “real people” in this play within a play (sort of). The actors of the original play become the audience for the characters, entering into a theatrical hall of mirrors, where the stage becomes more real than the world itself.
