JOIN ARTS JUDAICA FOR A STAGED READING OF A NEW PLAY

AT THE EDGE THEATER

October 28 at 7pm

We’re excited to invite you to an evening of a powerful new work: Free Radicals by Adam Pasen.

Tuesday evening, October 28, 2025 at the Edge Theater, 5451 N. Broadway,

Tickets are $15

This special performance features a new work by playwright Adam Pasen. Originally from Chicago, Adam has written on the last two seasons of the hit

crime drama Power Book IV: Force with his writing partner, Sammy Horowitz. He is a graduate of the PhD Playwriting program at Western Michigan University,

where he studied under Steve Feffer. Full-length Chicago productions include Tea with Edie and Fitz (BroadwayWorld Chicago Award for Best New Work) and

Badfic Love. He is the winner of the National Ten-Minute Play Award from the Kennedy Center and published in the Best American series from Applause books.

Born into an interfaith household, this is his first play exploring the Jewish side of his family, and he dedicates it to his father, Robert.

Show Description - On an EL platform in Chicago in the 1920s, a young Jewish woman escaping communist Russia meets the progressive American son of

Russian Jewish immigrants. What ensues will lead them to become leading figures in philosophy, politics and diametrically opposed in

every way. In a battle of wills spanning every topic from politics to hockey, the two cut to the core of what it means to be American and

whether we are defined by who we exclude or who we include. Check your privilege. Check your premises. CHECKMATE!

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience this exciting reading as part of Arts Judaica’s efforts to offer the newest and best of Jewish oriented works.
