DCA Theater Announces Spring 2012 Season

The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, in partnership with the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture, announces the Spring 2012 Season at both DCA Theater venues-the DCA Storefront Theater, 66 E. Randolph Street, and the DCA Studio Theater in the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington Street.

DCA Theater offers downtown audiences an off-Loop theater experience with an exciting look at the vibrant theater companies that call Chicago home. As an anchor of the downtown theater district, the DCA Storefront Theater season will feature a world premiere production by InFusion Theatre Company, two Chicago premieres (one by Vitalist Theatre and one by Chicago Fusion Theatre) and two dance premieres (one by Chicago Dance Crash and one by Khecari).

For the 2012 season, the DCA Theater expands its Incubator Series to present six companies in the Studio Theater of the Chicago Cultural Center: Prologue Theatre Company, Vintage Theater Collective, Strangeloop Theatre, Almost ATLANTA, Sour Mash Theatre Company and Jackalope Theatre Company. Additionally, DCA Theater will present the AFTRA/SAG Senior Radio Players and performances by the Vet Art Project.

All tickets are available by calling 312.742.TIXS (8497), visiting www.dcatheater.org, or stopping by the Chicago Cultural Center Ticket Office in the Chicago Cultural Center at 78 E. Washington Street, open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m. Tickets go on sale one hour before each performance at the Storefront Theater. Be sure to follow DCA Theater on Facebook for updates and information.

Discounted parking is once again available at Wabash/Randolph Self Park at 20 E. Randolph Street. Patrons can receive the $10 rate by validating their ticket at the Storefront Theater ticket office.

Each season, the DCA Theater accepts proposals from the city's itinerant theater and dance companies who wish to bring their innovative productions downtown. Presenting companies receive free performance space and resources, while theater-goers get an exciting glimpse into Chicago's world-renowned performing arts scene.
