When a prodigal son returns to blue collar New England, his homecoming sets off a spiraling crisis for two families, threatening not only their relationships but their very identities. In Mia Chung’s wildly inventive Catch as Catch Can, three actors take on six roles, bridging generation and gender, in a theatrical tour-de-force that upends the kitchen sink drama and asks what happens when we refuse to play the roles we’re prescribed. Spanning hilarity, stunning virtuosity and outright horror, this ferocious Chicago premiere—featuring an all-ensemble cast—must be witnessed to be believed.
Following the incredibly favored Anna Karenina, choreographer Yuri Possokhov and composer Ilya Demutsky have teamed up again for the Chicago premiere of Eugene Onegin, a full length-production inspired by Alexander Pushkin's poetic novel.
