Video: Jason Alexander Talks JUDGMENT DAY at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
Judgment Day debuts April 23–May 26, 2024, in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare.
Jason Alexander discusses why he is excited to dive into rehearsals for the world premiere comedy JUDGMENT DAY at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, running April 23–May 26, 2024.
The world premiere comedy stars Tony and Emmy Award winner Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) in his Chicago stage debut. The cast also features Daniel Breaker as Father Michael and Candy Buckley as the Angel, along with Maggie Bofill, Olivia Denise Dawson, Joe Dempsey, Michael Kostroff, Ellis Myers, and Meg Thalken. Judgment Day unites the powerhouse comedic talents of Alexander with director Moritz von Stuelpnagel, a Tony Award nominee and leading director of stage comedy, and playwright Rob Ulin, a Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winning television writer. Judgment Day debuts April 23–May 26, 2024, in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare.
Judgment Day tells the story of Sammy Campo, a staggeringly corrupt, morally bankrupt lawyer who's threatened with eternal damnation by a terrifying angel after a near-death experience. In a desperate attempt to redeem himself, Sammy forms an unlikely bond with a Catholic priest who is having his own crisis of faith. Filled with razor-sharp wit, this deliciously devious comedy rollicks through the timeless questions of Western philosophy—“morality,” “faith,” and “Are people any damn good?”
