Cast | Production Staff | Production Crew | Program Copy
Division Street, by the Oscar-winning screenwriter
of Breaking Away, Eyewitness, and The World According to
Garp, is a touching, off-center comedy about a group of neighbors in 1980
Chicago. Chris, a burnt-out radical seeking obscurity as an insurance underwriter,
wants to forget his past, but is besieged by old and new acquaintances --
a former Black militant surgically reborn as a female cop, a former wife who
speaks in 60s rock lyrics, a bomb-throwing Serbian restaurateur, a former
partner in radicalism who despises the womens movement, and more. The
Yugoslavian-born Tesich came to the United States at 14 and settled in Chicago,
and brings his own multi-ethnic background to Division Street.
