CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
Adapted for the stage by Chris Hannan
Based on the novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Directed by SGT Ensemble Member Louis Contey
One of the great stories of world literature comes to life in this fresh, theatrical adaptation featuring an ensemble of 11 actors as chorus and conscience. As Raskolnikov plays a dangerous cat and mouse game with a mercurial investigating magistrate, a psychological thriller unspools and probes how far humanity might go when driven by disillusionment and whether any crime can be justified by a higher purpose.

THE REALISTIC JONESES
Chicago Premiere!
By Will Eno
Directed by Jeremy Wechsler
A co-production with Theater Wit
A bucolic evening, which begins in a suburban backyard, evolves into a funny, intimate and profound meditation on life. The four Joneses attempt to muddle through the strange and amazing moments of each day knowing that “talking with someone can make you feel better” but fearing that actual communication may elude them in the end. THE REALISTIC JONESES was recently named one of the “25 Best Plays since Angels in America” by the New York Times.
