COVENANT Extends at The Goodman Through Early June
Extension week performances include June 4, 5, 6, and 7.
South Side native York Walker’s thriller Covenant has added five performances. Director Malkia Stampley’s all-Chicago cast—which includes Debo Balogun, Ashli René Funches, Jaeda LaVonne and Anji White—will remain intact through extension week. Covenant now appears through June 7 in the 380-seat flexible Owen Theatre; extension week performances include June 4 at 7:30pm, June 5 at 7:30pm, June 6 at 2pm and 7:30pm and June 7 at 2pm.
Expect one devilish twist after another in this “compelling Southern Gothic thriller with a sorrowful soul” (The Reader). Johnny “Honeycomb” James (Debo Balogun) left his small Georgia town a struggling guitarist—and returned a blues star, to the surprise of sisters Violet (Felicia Oduh) and Avery (Jaeda LaVonne), their mother (Anji White) and their Best Friend Ruthie (Ashli René Funches). As rumors of a darker deal abound, it becomes clear that he’s not the only one with a secret…or seeking salvation. This tense thriller explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth. Covenant premiered at Roundabout Theatre Company in 2023 to critical acclaim, earning a New York Times Critics Pick.
