The New Colony's THE TERRIBLE to Run 10/16-11/21

By:

The New Colony is pleased to conclude its 2015 season with the world premiere dark comedy THE TERRIBLE by Morgan McNaught, directed by Jesse Roth, playing October 16 - November 21, 2015 at its resident home, The Den Theatre's Main Stage, 1333 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. Tickets for THE TERRIBLE go on sale Monday, August 10, 2015 at www.thenewcolony.org. The press opening is Monday, October 19 at 7:30 pm.

THE TERRIBLE will feature Chris Fowler, Andrew Hobgood, Jessica London-Shields and Shariba Rivers.

Controversial performance artist Woolfe wakes up dead in a weird room with a shrink, a rake and a songstress. Together, they must come to terms with the terrible or else...

"We are proud The Terrible comes from the warped minds of Morgan McNaught and Jesse Roth, two artists making their writing and directorial debuts on The New Colony's Main Stage," comments Co-Artistic Director Evan Linder. "Their vision perfectly compliments the company's unique style - and The Terrible's unique atmosphere and sense of dread is unlike anything seen before on our stage."

The production team for THE TERRIBLE includes: William Boles (scenic design), Claire Chrzan (lighting) design), Emily Breyer (props design), Ryan Bourque (violence coach), Hutch Pimentel (dramaturg), Krista Mickelson (production manager) and Monica Brown (stage manager).
