BOB: A LIFE IN FIVE ACTS
By Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
at The Apollo Theater Studio, 2540 N Lincoln Avenue in Chicago
About the show: From an early age, Bob dreams of becoming a great man. The ensuing rags-to-riches-to-fame-to-fall-to-legacy-to-the-love-of-living-life tale follows Bob on an epic journey in just five acts. A play that explores American Mythology and how hard it is to figure out what will make one happy.
February 5 - February 27, 2018
ROW AFTER ROW
at The Apollo Theater Studio, 2540 N Lincoln Avenue in Chicago
About the show: Historical accuracy is paramount to Cal and Tom, two hardcore Civil War re-enactors, fresh off their latest Gettysburg battle. But their accuracy is compromised when they're joined by a soldier with a less than authentic confederate uniform... and the wrong gender. Straddling 1863 and today, ROW AFTER ROW is a dark comedy about choosing your cause and finding your courage.
About The Comrades: The Comrades were founded in early 2016. To date, they have produced four full productions and several staged readings. Their production of IN THE WAKE by Lisa Kron is currently running at the Greenhouse Theater Center thru August 26. Company members include Derek Bertelsen, Alison Plott, Angela Horn, Mike Newquist, Cydney Moody, David Coupe, Raymond Jacquet, Melanie Kulas, Kate Leslie, Taylor Wisham, Nicholas Coso, and Alex Nolen.
