3 Welcome to Redtwist! The Chicago storefront theatre experience is unique and has become an iconic brand worldwide. There are small theatres in every corner of the globe, but there is nothing quite like what has been happening here for nearly half a century, and it is this: a relentless stream of exciting young companies producing powerful plays with terrific actors in very intimate spaces for over four decades non-stop. On any evening yearround, you can choose from among five or ten dazzling storefront experiences. As we forge ahead through our second decade in this Bryn Mawr Avenue storefront, Redtwist is proud to continue this unique tradition of Chicago theatre. We didn t blaze the trail, but we intend to keep it hot. In addition to placing you right on top of the action in a great play, we purposely aim to provide a clean, hospitable space, from our lobby to our restrooms to the theatre itself, as well as large, comfy chairs. And so, while Redtwist is small, we hope your experience here is extra-large. This is our 12th full season, featuring the theme of Games People Play, with an eclectic mix of provocative plays which address the concept that everyone has an agenda, and they will try to achieve it regardless of the cost to their own well-being, and that of others. This season covers a wide swath of territory, from legendary American classics like Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, to timeless buried treasures like Arthur Miller s Incident at Vichy, to acclaimed modern plays like The Drawer Boy. The season wraps up with two premieres of great new stories: The Realization of Emily Linder and The Seedbed. All these plays feature the terrific artistic talent that you have come to expect from Redtwist shows. Our esteemed directors this season include Jason Gerace, Ian Frank, Steve Scott, and new company member, Scott Weinstein. They will orchestrate a growing pool of Redtwist actors to complement our nucleus whom you might have seen before: Elizabeth Argus, Adam Bitterman, Abby Dillion, Jacqueline Grandt, Jan Ellen Graves, KC Karen Hill, Aaron Kirby, Brian Parry, Debra Rodkin, Kathy Ruhl, and Michael Sherwin. In addition, Redtwist has invited some exciting young companies to co-produce provocative new plays in our Guest Company series. The first GC production/more Red Series features Redtwist s very own Johnny Garcia taking an uncompromising look at his formative years as a teenager growing up in a tough part of town. Thanks for coming to Redtwist! Michael Colucci, Artistic Director 3
