UIC Theatre's fiercely funny and poignant 2012-2013 season opens with Caryl Churchill's gloriously subversive gender-bending comedy "Cloud 9". Filled with as many bursts of humor as with life-affirming testaments to self-acceptance and the power of compassion to heal, it became an instant classic when it opened in London 1979 and later won the coveted Off-Broadway Obie Award during its sold-out two-year run.
