Interrobang Theatre Project Reveals 2016-17 Season

Interrobang Theatre Project, under the co-artistic direction of James Yost and Georgette Verdin, is pleased to announce Season Seven: "Flesh and Blood," featuring two Midwest premiere dramas of fractured lives, each examining broken bonds and broken hearts through the lens of families left to wonder, "past the tipping point, what comes next?"

The 2016/17 season launches this fall with the Midwest premiere of STILL by Jen Silverman and directed by Co-Artistic Director Georgette Verdin. Winner of the 2013 Yale Drama Series Award, STILL is a profoundly oblique journey through womanhood, grief and the triumph of saying goodbye. Next spring, the season concludes with the Midwest premiere of FALLING by Deanna Jent, directed by James Yost - one family's battle against stigma from society and each other.

Interrobang Theatre Project's 2016/17 Season will be staged at The Athenaeum Theatre (Studio 2), 2936 N. Southport Ave. in Chicago. Tickets go on sale Monday, August 1, 2016 at www.interrobangtheatreproject.org.
