Award-winning Redtwist Theatre launches its 21st season, “Defiant Femmes,” with How to Transcend a Happy Marriage, by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Elizabeth Swanson and movement directed by Sarah Scanlon, August 14 - September 21 at its home in Edgewater, the newly renovated Redtwist Theatre, 1044 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.
George is meandering through the American dream - she has a house in the suburbs, a loving husband and a young daughter. What more could she want? Isn’t she on the road to a happy ending? In How to Transcend a Happy Marriage, Sarah Ruhl (Chicago native and author of Eurydice and In The Next Room, or the Vibrator Play) challenges the white picket ideal, blurs the line between friends and lovers and asks all of us to grow beyond the constraints of monogamy.
The performance schedule is Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. with a total running time of two hours including a 15 minute intermission. There will be two understudy performances on Sunday, Aug. 31 at 3:30 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets are now on sale at RedtwistTheatre.org with discounts available for seniors, students and industry professionals and pay-what-you-can for all Friday performances.
