Bridgeport

How desperate must an Irish family be to survive Chicago at the peak of the Depression?
The Bridgeport neighborhood of 1933 Chicago is in transition and turmoil, and the Irish-American Gibbons clan is right in the middle of it. They have all they can handle with the neighborhood, St. Bridget's Catholic Church, and stepping out to the nearby Loop and its speakeasies.
But are things as they seem with this group? Maybe they're just a family doing better than most. And then again, maybe not. Are they about to realize the American Dream in the middle of the Depression, or is their fate destined to be a nightmare? The line between success and failure is so thin, and don't they know it.
Only the exciting times of Chicago's '30's can hold a candle to what the Gibbons clan is going through. Whether Chicago or the family itself can survive is a mystery to be revealed on the streets of Bridgeport and beyond.
With unexpected emotional twists, Bridgeport takes you on a journey this group never anticipated. The Gibbons family isn't afraid to step out of the ordinary, but it's where they end up that will surprise you.
Let Big Frank, Mumma, Merry, and Little Frankie take you on a journey within an American era more dangerous than any other.
From the harshness of a Church to the bawdiness of a speakeasy, Bridgeport winds a tale back to a row house where you never know what’s going to happen next.
