The Artistic Home, near the corner of Byron and Clark on the outskirts of Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood, is directly across the street from a cemetery. Well, three cemeteries, I think. And that is so appropriate, because, as you may know, that's where you end up at the end of this 1891 German dramatic classic by Frank Wedekind, being performed now through May 9, 2010 by the Promethean Theatre Ensemble.
Promethean Theatre Ensemble continues a season of firsts with their production of the Frank Wedekind play Spring Awakening, making season four their first three-show season. Directed by former PTE Artistic Director Stephen F. Murray, the play will feature PTE ensemble members Devon Candura (The Fantasticks, The Illusion) and Nick Lake (The Fantasticks, The Last Unicorn, Measure for Measure, The Illusion, and Six Characters in Search of an Author), as well as guest artists Jes Bedwinek, Zachary Clark (Measure for Measure), Sara Gorsky, Jessica London-Shields, Paul G. Miller (The Last Unicorn), Tyler Rich (Measure for Measure) and Cole Simon
