Eclipse's 2010 Season Featuring Legendary Playwright Arthur Miller

With a career that spans over seven decades, and a body of work that includes some of the most well-known and most frequently produced dramas in the world, Arthur Miller may be this country's greatest storyteller. His plays range from realistic psychological dramas to abstract dreamscapes; exploring social dynamics, personal connections and political conflict.

"Well, all the plays that I was trying to write were plays that would grab an audience by the throat and not release them, rather than presenting an emotion which you could observe and walk away from." -Arthur Miller

The 2010 Season is an ambitious and exciting journey through Miller's remarkable vision, offering audiences a truly unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Arthur Miller for a full season.

A 2010 Season Subscription is the perfect holiday gift for friends, family and yourself!

 Resurrection Blues
A Chicago Premiere!

Directed by Artistic Director Nathaniel Swift
March 25 - May 9, 2010
(Opening Night is March 28, 2010)
The Greenhouse Theater
2257 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago IL

High in the mountains of an unnamed dictatorship, a revolution is brewing. When the rebels' messiah-like leader is captured, an American Production Company purchases the rights to televise his sentence: death by crucifixion. Published in 2002, Miller's penultimate play brilliantly satirizes modern politics and faith in a media-obsessed society

After The Fall

July 8 - August 22, 2010
(Opening Night is July 11, 2010)
The Greenhouse Theater
2257 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago IL

Miller's ambitious and personal 1964 masterpiece explores a new sense of non-linear theatricality in its powerful study of one man's search for meaning through his memories and relationships. Images and scenes intertwine, illuminating his humanity and probing into the revealing, often painful events of his past.

Directed by Ensemble Member Steven Fedoruk
September 2 - October 17, 2010
(Opening Night is September 5, 2010)
The Greenhouse Theater
2257 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago IL

Set in a 1930s Brooklyn automobile parts warehouse with a strong cast of richly detailed characters, Miller draws on his own personal experience to explore the monotonous struggle to make a living and the dreams of a young man yearning for a college education in the midst of people stumbling through life in a haze of hopelessness and despondency.
