About Redtwist Theatre Redtwist Theatre, formerly Actors Workshop Theatre, embarked upon its first production as an itinerant company in 1994 with Simon Gray s Otherwise Engaged. AWT incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation in May 2001. It produced five more plays before moving to its current home in the vibrant Bryn Mawr Historic District of the Edgewater neighborhood in Chicago in the fall of 2002. Redtwist s first show in Edgewater, Praying Small, opened in September 2003. It was designated as a Critic s Choice by the Chicago Reader and was extended two times by popular demand. Michael Colucci, the founder of Redtwist Theatre, is the Artistic Director. His producing partner and wife, Jan Ellen Graves, is the Managing Director. In addition to acting, she directed the critically-acclaimed The American Clock by Arthur Miller and the Jeff-recommended plays Geezers and Aura, by company member, Tommy Lee Johnston. Michael s direction of All My Sons, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Three Hotels, That Face, and Broken Glass was also critically-acclaimed and Jeff-recommended. During Redtwist s time at the Bryn Mawr location, its productions have received 52 Jeff nominations and won 9 Non-Equity Jeff Awards including one for Best Production for Man from Nebraska in 2011. As of March 1, 2008, AWT s corporate name officially changed to Redtwist Theatre. Please visit www.redtwist.org for current information on our events and productions.

IN MEMORY OF ALDEN COHEN We ve done over sixty mainstage productions and another thirty or so off-night shows and guest company co-productions. And we cherish our patrons because we couldn t do it without you. Alden Cohen was one of our most thoughtful, generous, and loyal patrons, and he passed away on December 24, 2016. In September, 2004, we had just opened a rather obscure Arthur Miller play, BROKEN GLASS, as the inaugural show of our first full season in 04-05. I was seated at the box office desk and a couple walks into our lobby. The man says Hi, we re big Arthur Miller fans and we d like to see your show. I said, Great, welcome to Redtwist. Then, I added, We re devoting our entire season to Miller s rarely-produced plays, so you might want to consider purchasing flex tix for the season. And thus, Alden and Suzanne Cohen became the very first subscribers to our new theatre, and they have been flex tix patrons ever since. Over the years they rarely missed a show. And even after his passing, his family continued his connection to all of us by encouraging others to support Redtwist in his memory. About once a year Alden sent us funny, poetic notes which we have archived about their enjoyment of Redtwist s memorable plays, and he snail-mailed those poems, enclosing a generous donation. He said Redtwist brought much joy to him and Suzanne. The truth is, his clever words, kind generosity, and sparkling presence, filled our hearts with joy. In addition to being a warm and wonderful man, Alden was unique, funny, and fun-loving. He was one of our most cherished patrons, and this current 16-17 season is dedicated to Alden Cohen.

The Way We Are is a season-long snapshot with today s faces. It s about familiar people who navigate timeless challenges.

Redtwist Associate Artistic Director James Fleming directs an intimate production of this American classic as a love letter to Chicago s many communities and a reminder that life s most ordinary moments are often the most profound. # 2 I Saw My Neighbor on the Train and I Didn t Even Smile by Suzanne Heathcote Nov 18 to Dec 18, 2017 (Nov 15, 16, 17) Note: There is no show on Thu, Nov 23. Closing show is on Monday, December 18 at 7:30pm Chicago premiere.

A powerful new drama with incredible heart and humor. Tino is a Newark schoolboy sent to live with an abusive aunt after his mother dies protecting him in a street fight.
