2nd Annual Garage Rep is Announced!!! February 16 - April 24, 2011

"Performing under the Steppenwolf umbrella in the raw yet endlessly flexible Garage space, Garage Rep is not only a surefire audience magnet, but an all-around attention-getter!" - Chicago Sun-Times

After a phenomenally successful run this spring, we are once again turning over the keys to The Garage to three of the most innovative and exciting young Chicago theatre companies on the scene today. Sideshow Theatre Company, The Strange Tree Group and UrbanTheater Company will present three new productions in rotating repertory in The Garage at Steppenwolf beginning February 16, 2011.

"These are three companies with wildly different aesthetics, but who all bring an irresistible energy to their work," says Polly Carl, Steppenwolf's Director of Artistic Development.

Don't wait, buy group tickets now - individual tickets don't go on sale until January, 2011!

Book your group by calling Allan Waite at 312.932.2422.

Support for Garage Rep comes through the Leading for the Future Initiative, a program of the Nonprofit Finance Fund, funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

Sideshow Theatre Company presents:
Heddatron by Elizabeth Meriwether
Directed by Jonathan L. Green
http://www.tmsmail.us/t?ctl=134FC3D:8BE00578C3D292EF25A2241CDCF0A0D5951702137369606E&

A book falls from the sky, a depressed Michigonian housewife is kidnapped by renegade robots and forced to perform the title role in a mechanical version of Hedda Gabbler. As a documentarian searches for the truth about the abduction and the woman's family mounts a search party, Ibsen himself enters the picture to defend his well-made play.

The Strange Tree Group presents:
The Three Faces of Doctor Crippen by Emily Schwartz
http://www.tmsmail.us/t?ctl=134FC3A:8BE00578C3D292EF25A2241CDCF0A0D5951702137369606E&

The calamitously comedic tale of Dr. H. H. Crippen, England's most notoriously inept cellar murderer. Chased across the sea by destiny, this factual turn of the century tragedy explores three versions of the life and death of this homicidal homeopath.

UrbanTheater Company presents:
Sonnets for an Old Century by José Rivera
Directed by Juan Castañeda, in collaboration with Madrid St. Angelo and Ivan Vega
http://www.tmsmail.us/t?ctl=134FC3C:8BE00578C3D292EF25A2241CDCF0A0D5951702137369606E&

In a waiting room for the afterlife, we find a dreamscape filled with poignant monologues from recently deceased individuals. This Midwest premiere by award-winning screenwriter José Rivera asks: "Where do we go when we die?" And if you were to offer commentary regarding the life that you've lived, "What would you say?"
