SUMMARY
On June 9, 1930, Chicago Tribune reporter Jake Lingle was gunned down. Set in the "separate and lonely places" of Capone’s Chicago, HURRAH FOR THE NEXT WHO DIES examines the scandals, killings and betrayals surrounding Lingle's death. Mason’s thought-provoking new play reveals the dangerous pairing of violence and corrupt media that defined a dark time in Chicago's not-too-distant history, and serves as a warning for the future of truth in the Windy City.
The cast features Blake Dalton Bagby (The Bum), Ian Paul Custer (Jake Lingle), Edward Karch (Jack Zuta),
Zach Kenney (Rusty McHugh), Jason T. Love (Chief Michael Slattery), Matthew Olson
(Murray “The Camel” Humphrey), Victoria Oman (Rebecca Vogel), Adrian Snow (Leona Byrd)
and Kyle Wallace (Ferdy Dormitzer).
