SiNNERMAN Ensemble’s 2009/2010 Season!
Greetings friends!
It is my great pleasure to officially announce the lineup for SiNNERMAN’s fourth season! This is a milestone season for us in a lot of ways. We continually strive to take on new and unique projects that we find scary and exciting, and this season we’ve picked two. That’s a big first for us: One season! Two shows! And folks, we are just over the moon about it.
First up is our Fall ‘09 show. We’re a tackling a classic. (There’s another first for us!) The SiNNERs will take on a brilliant (yet very rarely done) Chekhov play called Ivanov. It’s hilarious. It’s heartbreaking. And it’s a huge challenge that we greet with open arms. Chicago theatre and comedy legend, Sheldon Patinkin, will be directing this epic tale that deals with hard choices, hard economic times, and hard truths about life and love.
Next up, Spring ‘10. The SiNNERs will be collaborating on another brand new play by an up-and-coming Chicago playwright. Braden LuBell– an incredible Chicago talent and dear friend of the SiNNERs– is writing and directing Days of Late, which tells the interwoven stories of eight people attempting to escape their accidental isolation and find some kind of connection. With frank eroticism, a sense of humor, and a lot of heart, Days of Late wrestles with some of the hardest questions we must ask about how to make a good life.
We’re absolutely thrilled that we get to tackle two bold, rich and diverse projects in the span of one season. It’s gonna be a good year of working hard and playing hard, and we hope you’ll keep checking in with us every step of the way.
But before all that: Bible B-Sides opens March 23rd at the Viaduct! It’s scary. It’s sexy. It’s disturbing. It’s funny. It’s definitely not for kids. And it’s most likely not what you’re expecting.
