Mary-Arrchie Theatre
Company announced Tuesday that it's upcoming 30th season, which launches September
10th, will be it's last.
Rich Cotovsky, the founder and artistic director for the company, shared that the company lost their lease in the building that served as their home for 26 years. Like Strawdog's recent announcement, the entire city block is being redeveloped. Mary-Arrchie was always known for edgy, anti-establishment productions, including massive hits The Glass Menagerie and Superior Donuts. They also presented the annual Abbie Hoffman Died for Our Sins, lovingly known by those in the industry as Abbie Fest. For more information on Mary-Arrchie's final season, which will begin with Guardians by Peter Morris, please visit: http://maryarrchie.com/wordpress/ Drury Lane has announced
the cast and creative team for the regional premiere of the Tony-nominated Peter and
the Starcatcher, directed by Jeff Award-winner and Drury Lane Artistic Director
William Osetek. Hailed as
"astonishing" (The New Yorker) and "an absurdly funny fantastical journey,"
(Entertainment Weekly), Peter and the Starcatcher answers the question of how Peter
Pan became "The Boy Who Never Grew Up." Complete with an all-Chicago cast, a company
of twelve actors portray over one hundred characters throughout this captivating
coming-of-age tale of one of literature's most beloved stories. Peter and the
Starcatcher, with a book by
Dave
Barry and
Ridley Pearson and based on the 2004
play by
Rick Elice, runs August 27
- October 18, 2015. Opening Night is set for Thursday, September 3 at 8pm.
