Clockwise Theatre, Waukegan announces Non-Equity auditions for The Midwestern Premiere of Steven Young's exciting Chicagoland comedy, THE NIGHT WE BOMBED LINCOLN TOWING directed by Judy Blue.

The Play:
2 Acts with intermission.

6 strangers gather in a rundown Rogers Park (Chicago) bar one night during a torrential downpour. All of them are stranded, their vehicles towed by the notorious Lincoln Towing. They confront one another, argue, fight, laugh, forgive, bond, some fall in love, and together they plot to bomb Lincoln Towing to regain their potency (if not their vehicles). Will they succeed?
