THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE Looks At The Current Political Campaign

By: Nora Dominick Aug. 11, 2016

With an eye to the current political climate, Genesis Theatrical Productions will be remounting its quadrennial production of "The People's Choice" by Philip Pinkus.

A political satire about presidential politics, the play has been reworked by the playwright to reflect the current political season including a singing, dancing nominee with a remarkable head of hair.

The People's Choice is directed by Elayne LeTraunik and features Tricia Rogers, Becky Lang, Katie Binger, Michael Wagman, Glenn Garrabrant and James McGuire as Trump-et.

The show runs September 21 to October 30 at Redtwist Theatre, 1044 W. Bryn Mawr, Chicago. Performances are Wednesdays and Sundays at 7:30pm and Saturdays at 3pm. Tickets are $30 and are available at Brown paper Tickets. Discounted tickets are available on Goldstar.

Let's make theater great again. It's YUUUGE.
