A Red Orchid Theatre to Present TREVOR, 10-17-12/1
A Red Orchid Theatre presents the Midwest premiere of Trevor, written by Nick Jones (Netflix's "Orange is the New Black") and directed by Artistic Associate Shade Murray. The production will run October 17 - December 1, 2013 at A Red Orchid Theatre, 1531 N. Wells.
Inspired by true events, Trevor is a subversive comedy about fame, success, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep people from taking away an erratic, 200-pound chimpanzee. At the center of this hilarious and terrifying play are two individuals fighting against a world unable to understand their love-Trevor, a chimpanzee who once performed in commercials with the likes of Morgan Fairchild, and his owner Sandra, who promises he would never hurt a fly. Nick Jones' surprising play explores family, flawed communication, and the complexity of "acting like a man."
Trevor features A Red Orchid Ensemble Members Mierka Girten and Larry Grimm with Lindsey Pearlman, Colm O'Reilly, Loretta Rezos, Brandon Saunders andNoah Simon.
Tickets: $15 previews, $25-$30 regular run. ($25 Thurs, $30 Fri-Sun)
Box Office: Located at 1531 N. Wells Ave, Chicago, (312) 943-8722; or online www.aredorchidtheatre.org
