Video: Go Inside Rehearsals for JUDGMENT DAY at Chicago Shakespeare Theater with Jason Alexander & More
Judgment Day debuts April 23–May 26, 2024, in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare.
Go inside rehearsals for Chicago Shakespeare Theater's production of Judgment Day, a hilariously irreverent world premiere comedy starring Tony and Emmy Award winner Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) in his Chicago stage debut.
"My joy is being in what I call a great room, and this is a great room..." said Alexander on making his Chicago stage debut.
Alexander leads a cast that features Tony Award nominee Daniel Breaker as Father Michael and Candy Buckley as the Angel, along with Maggie Bofill, Olivia Denise Dawson, Joe Dempsey, Michael Kostroff, Ellis Myers, and Meg Thalken. Judgment Dayunites the powerhouse comedic talents of Alexander with director Moritz von Stuelpnagel, a Tony Award nominee and leading director of stage comedy, and playwright Rob Ulin, a Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winning television writer.
Judgment Day debuts April 23–May 26, 2024, in The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare.
Judgment Day tells the story of Sammy Campo, a staggeringly corrupt, morally bankrupt lawyer who's threatened with eternal damnation by a terrifying angel after a near-death experience. In a desperate attempt to redeem himself, Sammy forms an unlikely bond with a Catholic priest who is having his own crisis of faith. Filled with razor-sharp wit, this deliciously devious comedy rollicks through the timeless questions of Western philosophy—“morality,” “faith,” and “Are people any damn good?”
