Blackbird- Starring William L. Petersen, Directed by Dennis Zacek
by David Harrower

William L. Petersen, star of CBS-TV's CSI, returns to the theater where he first earned his Equity card to star in Blackbird. This searing two-person drama about the destructive cycle of desire and illicit love brings to mind Petersen's earliest work on Chicago's stages, playing morally questionable characters in In the Belly of the Beast, The Night of the Iguana, and Flyovers. "The most powerful drama of the season...masterly, mesmerizing...extraordinary...a miracle" (New York Times), and winner of the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award, Britain's equivalent to the Tony's, Blackbird will leave you stunned into silence.

Opening: July 3, 2009
Closing: August 9, 2009
