Akvavit Theatre to Present THE ORCHESTRA
Chicago's Akvavit Theatre is pleased to present the U.S. premiere of Finnish playwright Okko Leo's dark comedy THE ORCHESTRA directed by Brad Akin, playing December 9, 2015 - January 10, 2016 at Rivendell Theatre, 5779 N.

THE ORCHESTRA will feature Bergen Anderson*, Emily Demko, Steve Herson, Ryan Heywood, Josiah Kumpost, Jim Poole and Tony St. Clair.
THE ORCHESTRA follows a group of has-been rockers who've been playing weddings for peanuts. But when a band-mates famous sister visits them at a gig - they see an opportunity for one fimnal push for fame. It's "Fargo meets This Is Spinal Tap" in a performance that has all of Finland abuzz - and that's saying something in a land where extroverted Finns look at your shoes when they talk!
