An ode to addiction recovery and the sober community, Another Shot is based loosely on real-life Chicago sports radio personality Harry Teinowitz, whose career and life were put in jeopardy following a DUI arrest. The play is co-written by former ESPN personality and playwright Manton (Leaving Iowa). Jackson Gay directs.
