God of Carnage? by Yasmina Reza

at The BoHo Theatre at Heartland Studio

After a schoolyard altercation between two 11-year-old boys, the parents meet for a civilized discussion of the incident. Societal armor is stripped away and brutish, animalistic madness reigns. With AstonRep's recent development of bringing life to acclaimed newer works in an intimate environment, this dynamic play is an excellent candidate. God of Carnage will feature ensemble members Amy Kasper, Ray Kasper, and Robert Tobin and will be directed by veteran Chicago director Doug Long.

Next Fall? by Geoffrey Nauftts?(Chicago Premiere)
April 19-May 19, 2013
at The BoHo Theatre at Heartland Studio
7016 N Glenwood Ave. Chicago, Illinois 60626
Set in present-day New York, Adam and Luke, despite being polar opposites, come together as a couple. Adam is an older, neurotic atheiSt. Luke is a care-free actor and a devout Christian. When Luke is seriously injured and sent into a coma, his family and friends converge and collide. A comical, timely, and heartbreaking story is told of the bond we share beyond ideological differences. Next Fall will be directed by Derek Bertelsen, the director of last spring's highly-acclaimed production of Doubt.
