Bramble Theatre Company presents a staged reading of THROWBACK ISLAND, written by Ro Reddick and directed by Ebby Offord, as the second play in our 2026 Spring Reading Series, which is being presented in collaboration with Oak Park Area Arts Council. There will be a short talkback after the reading.  This reading will be presented at Bramble Arts Loft in Andersonville.   Six “sexy singles” go to a secluded island for nostalgia soaked good vibes, #truelove, and a chance to win $100K. But when a strongman bachelor enters the villa there’s a lot more at stake than a pot of money… Throwback Island is a dark and eerie satire that explores homegrown, all-American fascism through a bonkers reality dating show. Tickets are Pick-Your-Price from $5 to $35.  Cast members for this reading will be announced at a future date.
