Trap Door Theatre will begin its 33rd season with the U.S. Premiere of The Man Who Fell with the Rain, written by Andrei Kureichik and directed by resident director Kay Martinovich. The Man Who Fell with the Rain will play an extended run September 3rd – 26th, 2026 at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W Cortland St. in Chicago.

Based on the short story by Gabriel García Márquez, Kureichik's play is a darkly comic fable about a mysterious old man with enormous wings who falls from the sky into the yard of an ordinary couple. As neighbors, opportunists, and skeptics descend upon the strange visitor, wonder gives way to greed, fear, and spectacle.
The production team includes Kayci Johnston (Stage Manager), Richard Norwood (Lighting Design), Oskar Westbridge (Sound Design), Emily Lotspeich (Costume Design), Allsion Kozik (Set Design), David Alvarado, Ryn Aston, Logan Blake, Sonya Dunn, Sania Henry, Chloe Konieczki, and Michael Lomenick (Understudies), Michal Janicki (Graphic Design).
