Set in the time of Joseph Stalin's Soviet genocide of the Ukrainian people through a man-made famine of the Ukrainian Holodomor that killed between 7 to 10 million people.

With a Chicago revival, two World Premieres, and an ASL inclusive show, I couldn't be more excited about our upcoming season in residency with Strawdog Theatre.
Red Theater Chicago is unprecedented at the storefront level in its efforts to be inclusive to all audiences and artists. It is our mission "to honor all audiences by asking dangerous questions theatrically." Chicago is full of amazing Theater Productions, but many are unable to see it. With the success of our #FreeTheater initiative, we have grown our audience, maintained a strong presence with D/deaf and disabled audiences, and doubled our financial contributions. Red Theater is devoted to ensuring all Red Theater Productions have multiple, peak-night captioned performances and host Touch Tours.
