‘As Much as You Can’: Catch the first preview of As Much as You Can at the Diversionary Theatre. In the play, written by playwright Paul Oakley Stovall and directed by Antonio T.J. Johnson, Jesse returns home to Chicago for his brother’s wedding, and he surprises – or, as his best friend Nina says, “ambushes” – his family by bringing along his Swedish boyfriend, Christian. Jesse’s three siblings have varying reactions to the couple: half-sister Ronnie is supportive and anxious for the family to fully accept Jesse and Christian as a couple; younger brother Tony, once he conquers his initial homophobia, is resistant to welcoming a white man into their black family; and deeply religious sister Evy thinks that Jesse is betraying the memory of their deceased parents by “choosing” what she considers a sinful, unnatural lifestyle. Through card games, language lessons, and literature, they all strive to live, love, and give as much as they can. As Much As You Can will preview on Jan. 8 and 9 at the Diversionary Theatre, and open on Saturday, Jan. 10 and run through Sunday, Jan. 25. Performance times are Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 and 7 p.m. Single tickets, priced $29-$33 with discounts for seniors, students and military, are now on sale.
