Strawdog Theatre Company Announces Move

By:

Strawdog Theatre Company and Artistic Director Hank Boland announce that Strawdog Theatre Company will be leaving its home at 3829 North Broadway Ave. at the conclusion of its 2015 - 2016 28th Season in June 2016. Real estate developments on the block have caused the move for the Company. Strawdog has been at the current location, both its administrative offices and theatre spaces, for 25 years, since its third production Temptation by Vaclav Havel in 1990.

"Over the last few seasons we have challenged ourselves and pushed production schedules generating more than 7000 audience members attending performances in our second-floor home this season. The space has been very good to us, and to many other artists and companies over the years. We'll be going out of our way to create opportunities for people to say good-bye to the space. While we'd hoped to celebrate our 30th season here on Broadway, we now look forward to the potential of presenting our 30th and future seasons in a new permanent home," said Artistic Director Hank Boland.

The company's final show in the Broadway space will be their 110th production, Kaufman and Hart's 1930 classic, Once in a Lifetime, directed by Damon Kiely and opening in April 2016.

Strawdog intends to present a three-show 29th Season beginning in the fall of 2016 at a location to be determined.
