Meet Jim Shedd, a Lodge Foundation board member and the Artistic Director of point2point productions. He is stocking the shelves of the From Dust set, and is waiting for you to join him for the premier of this exciting new work by South Elgin High School alum, Eli Campbell. One of two winners of point2point's New Works Initiative, From Dust tells the tale of Ettie, a doomsday prepper, and Smith, the man she hires to build her a bomb shelter. Fearing that a nuclear attack is happening, Ettie shuts them both inside despite Smith's rampant skepticism, effectively forcing them to spend the rest of their lives underground together. From Dust is about existential anxiety, misinformation, and the question: should you open the door? Join Jim for this exciting new production and help a great cause.
