American Theater Company Announces New Dates for YEAST NATION
American Theater Company announces the addition of new performance dates for its smash-hit production of Yeast Nation (the triumph of life) by the creators of Urinetown, Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, directed by Artistic Director PJ Paparelli. Following the two biggest sales weeks in the company's history, the production has been extended through November 8, 2009 at American Theater Company, 1909 W Byron in Chicago.
Tickets for the three-week-long extension are now on sale through the box office, www.atcweb.org and 773.409.4125. The production must close November 8, 2009.
The Tony Award-winning creators of the Broadway hit Urinetown return home to Chicago to premiere the strangest story ever to be musicalized. The Primordial Soup. 3,000,458,000 B.C. The world's first family, a colony of salt-eating yeasts, float in the brine of the primordial soup under the rule of a tyrannical baritone. When resources deplete and fear pervades, the faith of a single-celled dreamer starts an evolutionary chain reaction that changes the course of existence forever. ATC brings together an all-star Chicago cast including Barbara Robertson, Joseph Anthony Foronda, Phil Ridarelli and many more. Here come the Yeasts!
