Death of a Salesman
Drama
Runs Oct 02 - Oct 26, 2025
"Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller is an American tragedy about Willy Loman, an aging traveling salesman struggling to reconcile his life with the American Dream. His failing career, strained relationships, and fading grasp on reality lead to a mental and emotional breakdown. The play explores themes of disillusionment, family conflict, and the destructive nature of the American Dream. Our production centers the point of view on Linda Loman, as she plays the willing witness to the downfall of her once safe, nuclear family. Alongside the shortcomings of the Loman’s, we see the rise of a different kind of American family through the ensemble cast of Willy’s life. This production begins our season's long examination of economic injustice, beginning with the point of view from the withered American middle class. This production is directed by Scott Westerman.

Faking the Band
Comedy, Improv, Musical, Open Run
Runs Oct 17 - Nov 21, 2025
For one night only, a legendary band is reuniting. You pick the songs they play—the massive hits, obscure b-sides, and corporate sell-outs. Along the way, they’ll share the stories behind the songs and the untold history of the band’s epic rise and fall. Also...this band doesn’t exist. And all of this is made up.

Frankenstein
Drama, Literary Adaptation
Runs Oct 24 - Oct 26, 2025
Following a sold-out run at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, A.B.L.E.'s ensemble of disabled and neurodivergent actors brings their critically acclaimed adaptation of Frankenstein back to life at Theater Wit for a strictly limited engagement October 24-26. This original punk-inspired adaptation blends music, movement, and scenes devised a neurodiverse ensemble into a provocative exploration of ambition, isolation, and the balance between the head and the heart.

Dead Man's Cell Phone
Runs Oct 17 - Nov 09, 2025
Jean isn’t a nerd, and she’s no dud—she’s simply… there. Until she answers a dead man’s ringing cell phone. That single act hurls her into a whirlwind of eccentric relatives, a drunken widow, a black-market underworld, a Johannesburg airport brawl, a laundromat in the afterlife, and maybe—just maybe—into the arms of the dead man’s brother… or the dead man himself.
Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone isn’t just a surreal comedy about life, love, and death—it’s a sharp commentary on how technology drives and distorts us. Time bends, realities blur, and we’re swept through parallel worlds, peril, and peculiar romance—all by way of one very insistent ringtone.
