Red Theater Kicks Off Season with AN OAK TREE

Red Theater Chicago announces the start of their 7th season with their upcoming production of An Oak Tree by Tim Crouch, directed by Jeremy Aluma and starring Gage Wallace, both Red Theater company members. Performances run November 1 through December 9, 2018. Press opening is on Saturday, November 3 at 8:00 pm at the Athenaeum Theatre in Studio One at 2936 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL 60657.

Two Actors. One has rehearsed the play. The second has never even read it. Performed by a different person each night, the second actor will discover the play and their role at the same time as you do. In this Midwest Premiere by Tim Crouch, An Oak Tree asks, how do we transform our world in order to survive our pain? How do we create our own reality? Anything can happen in this play that illuminates the magic of theater - a cheap trick and a genuine spell all at once.

The FIRST ACTOR or HYPNOTIST is being played by Gage Wallace. Actors playing the SECOND ACTOR will be announced on the Tuesday prior to each upcoming weekend performances.
