The 4th play in Ike Holter’s Rightlynd Saga.
THE STORY: After Zora experiences a violent run-in on the L, she and a ragtag group of vigilante citizens decide they have had enough of the senseless violence in the fictional 51st Ward. Realizing that they are the only people that can save themselves, they begin a training regimen and crime-fighting crusade that makes more demands of their friendships, relationships, and physical and mental strength and endurance than they thought possible. With comic book-style fight sequences and loads of grit and spirit, Prowess tests the limits of how one makes the world right.
“Nobody else in Chicago writes anything like the massively talented Holter, whose poetic language often emerges in thrilling torrents…and his emotional hope for the future cascades all over PROWESS.” —Chicago Tribune.
“Impressive and immersive!…PROWESS aggressively attacks our culture of complacency while offering a portrait of vigilantism grounded in social realism.” —Newcity Stage.
