Are you looking for the most impressive first date ever? If she or he likes wonderful, affecting site-specific theatre, take them to see the Neo-Futurist's Fake Lake, site-specific to the Welles Park Swimming Pool. Chlorinated comedy and tragedy abound, expertly penned by Sharon Greene, a five-year Neo vet who took a sabbatical to write the play.

Based on Greene's experiences at Lake Powell, a man-made reservoir that grew out of the damming of the Colorado River. Every year, the lake evaporates more water than the city of Los Angeles consumes. With this bearing in mind, the play explores Greene's ambiguous feelings about a beautiful, terrible place. After the show, I was awestruck. Support a great company in its 20th year. Check out the Fake Lake. --Drake

Fake Lake runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at the Welles Park Swimming Pool, 2333 W Sunnyside in Lincoln Square.
