Chicago The City That Wakes features one talented trio from Austin, Texas known as The Highland Lakes Players – Sebastian Garcia, Samantha Levine, Raymond V. Whelan. Their three-act, 30-minute play transports viewers to Chicago several years ago, when Jane Byrne was mayor of the city, getting pushed into a brave new world, where it will have to cope with electronic media and social distancing, where the strong may not survive, let alone the weak. Yet, there is still hope.
