CHICAGO — A Niles native is taking to the Chicago stage in an experimental form of theater.

Niles native and 2013 Edwardsburg High School graduate Danny Ferenczi is currently starring in Chicago-based play “Incomplete Conversations,” presented by the Silent Theatre Company. The show, which opened Thursday, runs Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until April 4. All shows start at 7:30 p.m. at Tapestry Fellowship Church, 3824 W. Irving Park, Chicago. The play, which is a form of “immersive theater,” follows several characters attending the funeral of a young pastor as they grapple with the shockwaves left by a sudden death and perhaps uncover who killed him.

In the play, Ferenczi plays Liam, who he describes as a mysterious character.

“It’s kind of a ‘whodunnit,’” he explained. “It’s a really fun play and a really fun experience.”

Ferenczi’s other stage credits include “Now or Later,” “Hands on a Hardbody,” “To the End of Reckoning,” “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,” “The Fires of Nero: Rise of a Dictator,” “The Glitter Girls,” “My Fair Lady,” “Oklahoma!,” “Sondheim on Silver,” and “Parade.”

Even with many plays under his belt, the Niles native said “Incomplete Conversations” is the most unique play he has ever been a part of due to its immersive nature. Rather than watching specific scenes from a seat in front of the stage like a traditional play, audience members join in on the stage and can follow around different characters. As scenes take place in different rooms, the audience can wander from room to room to piece together a picture of the story. This means an audience member could see the show multiple times, and each time they would have a completely different experience.

“This was my first immersive piece,” Ferenczi said. “It’s definitely a learning experience, and the audience members keep you on your toes. Some avoid you completely; some talk to you. You don’t know what to expect.”

Ferenczi is now on his second run of “Incomplete Conversations,” having also starred in the play last November. Even though he is a returning actor and has an idea of what to expect, he said every show is different and requires improvisation depending on how the audience chooses to engage with the cast.

“It’s crazy,” he said of his excitement to once again star in the immersive play. “To resurrect the play — pun unintended — it has me really excited. I’m hoping to see both a lot of returners and new people to follow around the characters. The unpredictability [of the play] is what makes it exciting.”

Once “Incomplete Conversations” closes next month, Ferenczi is back to the audition grind to seek out more work. Though he said the acting business could be difficult sometimes, he knows he is on the right career path and credits the theater education he received in southwest Michigan for helping him to find his passion.

“I learned a lot at Edwardsburg and St. Joe, which was really great growing up,” he said. “What keeps me going is definitely the community I’m a part of. We are all in this together, and it really makes a difference when we come together. It refuels that drive that you are part of something greater, and makes the highs that much better.”
