Theater Spotlight
Megan Donahue's world-premiere play Nameless Mountains, for Accomplice Theatre, makes a point that LGBTQ people can be found throughout history. At least that's part of the drama involving a bisexual woman who finds herself trapped alongside a struggling preacher and a number of prostitutes inside a Klondike brothel circa 1899 during a massive snowstorm. Nameless Mountains continues through Saturday, March 11, at the Charnel House, 3421 W. Fullerton Ave. Performance times are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays. Tickets are free, but donations are appreciated. Reservations requested by visiting AccompliceTheatre.com .
