Sandy Rustin (Clue, Mystic Pizza) was raised in Chicagoland and has created a tribute to the work of John Hughes through her own high school focused story which highlights the music of the 1980’s. “Always Something There”  is enjoying it’s World Premiere at Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre and stars Chicago’s very own Heidi Kettenring playing the role of Samantha Craig as an adult, and Christina Priestner who plays Samantha as a teen. Along with a fabulous supporting cast, it tells the story of 45 year old Samantha who wakes up on the morning of her 45th birthday to find she has once again become her 18 year old self and her former high school world.

Can she relive her senior year of high school in suburban Chicago? Can she reshape and change her teenage choices? The story is powered by a score of hits by Madonna, Whitney Houston, Culture Club, The Go-Go’s and more….indeed this Chicago-raised playwright has penned a nostalgic love letter both to the 80’s and indeed, her home town, Chicago!
