2122 MICHIGAN AVENUE
Not all rats live in the sewer…
Description: In the early morning of February 14, 1929, on the frigid streets of Lincoln Park, Chicago, Al Capone put a hit out on Buggs Moran’s men. Bloodthirsty, the Italian artillery left seven Irish dead. This infamous carnage would later come to be known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Late that evening and just around the corner, we find ourselves at the Scarlett Rose Jazz Club, a hub for seedy gangsters and crooked characters. Owner Jack “Machine-Gun” McGurn and his staff open their doors for another night of mobbery and moonshine.
Featuring: Sarah Davenport*, Spencer House, Brynn Langford*, Mary Malloy, Andrew Smith, Alice Skok, Sarah Vargo, Garrett Walters

The Opening
Always a part of one story, always witnessing another.
Description: The Donner Party believes the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and we are excited to warm the souls of our audiences with a menu of authenticity, hilarity and eccentricities as we invite them on an intimate journey of the senses. We are opening a restaurant wide and examining the vast range of a human interaction and experience that happens when people gather to share a meal. Audience members will be patrons of this establishment and taken on several distinct journeys, always a part of one story and always witnessing another.
Featuring: Christian Carey*, Zach Crowley, Kate Daugherty, Colin Edgar, Taylor Greatbatch, Cliff Nunley, Cait Penson, Alison Sluiter, Anna Stapleton

SENTENCED
The court will take a recess.
Description: In the mind of a child, justice is very different. What happens when judgment is executed by the innocent and uninformed? Nine children on a playground blur the lines between reality and recess as they commence a full-out fantastical trial for a crime perpetrated by the group, but pinned on one of its members. Through integration of projections, alternative sounds, comedy and live media, this project presents a look into the wild imaginations and actual realities of unsupervised children – and the consequences their actions present.
Featuring: Rachel Baumgarten, Alex Escher, Joseph Hill, Colleen Ladrick, Laura McCarthy, John Odom*, Ty Olwin, Callie Schuttera, Shaun S. Sutton*

The Sherwin Williams Effect
It’s HUE season.
Description: We lived in a world without color. It hadn’t been taken away; color had simply never been introduced. Our society was streamlined, functional and balanced. Perfectly balanced. Then a factory worker coughed orange. Someone flushed pink down the sink. Rats smuggled red onto a cargo ship. Soon there were back page stories and rumors at the supermarket. Before we knew it, outbreaks were everywhere. Some celebrated the color while others avoided it like the plague. Now scientists, to calm our riotous public, have dubbed it the Sherwin Williams Effect and are suggesting that each family administer HUE shots. Will you get yours?

Void
Fear. Reality. Nightmares. This is where they meet.
Description: What haunts us? What sets us on edge? Fear lurks around the corners of the human mind, invading dreams, thoughts and imagination. This series of terrors centers on a shared experience of strange occurrences. You are invited into this seemingly inescapable nightmare and to leave your fears at the door in celebration of horror culture. We welcome you to sweat, laugh, cry and scream with us, but enter at your own risk.
