coming this week

A. D.

coming to the 2010 Chicago Fringe Festival

She is women. Hear them roar.

Attention deficits, afternoon delights, American dreams, artistic differences...as the saying goes, attention must be paid. The world is turning faster and faster, getting smaller and smaller every day. How can we keep up? How do we sort the information from the noise? Can we cut through the static anymore? Do we even want to?

See Annie Huey in the Chicago premiere of A. D., written by artist-in-residence David J. Loehr, directed by Jim Stark.

Picked by the Washington Post as one of "six intriguing picks" at the 2009 Capital Fringe Festival. "Loehr's last show just hit me to the core...can't wait to see what he does for an encore." -- Mike Riley, Washington Post

2amt in the 3rd Dimension

a panel discussion at the 2010 Chicago Fringe Festival

What is 2amt? Thinking outside the black box. It began as a conversation online that grew to include theatre artists, companies and patrons from around the world. It's a hashtag on Twitter: #2amt. It's a website: 2amtheatre.com. And it's growing into so much more...

And now, if you're at the 2010 Chicago Fringe Festival, you get to see it in action, in person, live and in 3-D. No glasses required. And even if you're not, you can watch the panel streaming live online Saturday, Sept 4 at 11:30am et, right here at the 2amt site, thanks to Arena Stage.

Kris Vire, theatre editor at Time Out Chicago, is the moderator. The panel includes Bilal Dardai of The Neo-Futurists and New Leaf Theatre; Eric Ziegenhagen playwright, director, consultant to the Richard Driehaus Foundation; Rebecca Zellar, artistic director of the GreyZelda Theatre Company and David J. Loehr, artist-in-residence and co-producer with the Riverrun Theatre Company and editor of 2amt.

Seeing Red

Paint your palette blue and gray...

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream...

What happens when you travel the world only to see what you've missed? After a lifetime of wandering, artist Emile Bernard is planning one last trip. As he prepares, he recalls his friendship with Vincent van Gogh, he looks down the roads not taken...and he finally hears what Vincent was trying to say...

This production travelled to the South Carolina Repertory Company on Hilton Head Island in April 2010.
