The path of the story from stage to screen began on the Champaign-Urbana campus of the University of Illinois where producers Jason Brett and Stuart Oken met as undergraduates. Linked by their enthusiasm for theater, the friends became involved in stage productions. A few years later, as producers, they started the initial offering for the Apollo Group Theatre in Chicago. At around the time of that this movie debuted, the Apollo Theater Center, since its opening in 1978, had housed around thirty major productions, including this film's source stage play "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" (1974) by David Mamet. Even while the Apollo was in its infancy, Brett and Oken saw film as a natural progression for their young company.
