Far Away thrills with a gripping story of a young girl who, waking to a strange noise, sneaks out to her aunt and uncle’s barn and witnesses something she was never meant to see. Discovering dark truths far beyond her years, nothing will ever be the same for her again. To take place in an abandoned space that has been a church, a storefront, and even a proposed theatre, Far Away and its design team will create a magical world just on the other side of the sidewalk from Evanston’s border with Chicago.I'm a paragraph.
