Dandelion Theatre to present THE TICKET BOOTH
Dandelion Theatre presents a tremendous Chicago collaboration, The Ticket Booth, for one weekend only, June 22 through 25, at The Den Theatre in Wicker Park. Following on from the success of last year's The Hot Dog Stand, The Ticket Booth premieres 9 new plays by Chicago area playwrights, directed by 9 Chicago directors, and featuring 24 Chicago actors - with all of the action taking place in front of various ticket booths around Chicago.
The Ticket Booth leaps into some of life's unpredictable moments and explores the absurdity, intrigue, and charm that make the examined life so fascinating.
"Dandelion Theatre is committed to creating opportunities for theatre artists and The Ticket Booth is a great example of the kind of work Dandelion Theatre values," said Founder and Artistic Director Katherine Lamb. "By bringing together disparate theatre artists, Dandelion Theatre both facilitates collaboration and creates opportunities, while also becoming better acquainted with Chicago's exceptional theatre community. Last year's The Hot Dog Stand, and before that The Coat Check, have served as launching pads for many participants who have gone on to collaborate both with each other and with Dandelion Theatre."
Curated by Artistic Director Katherine Lamb, The Ticket Booth presents 9 new plays by Jessie Bond, Aniello Fontano, Josh Hepler, Tanuja Jagernauth, Ben Kemper, David Narter, TImothy David Rey, Christopher vanDer Ark, and Kyle Whalen, with direction by Molly Burns, RoBert Carter, Leah Cassella, Spencer Diedrick, Dexter Ellis, Kaycee Filson, Julia Rufo, Bec Willett, and Emily Witt.
Dandelion Theatre, founded in 2014 by Katherine Lamb, is committed to creating experiences that inspire and vitalize artists and audience members alike. They seek to attain this by cultivating community, fostering the artistic process, and valuing truthful discourse.
