Two years ago, seven of our country’s most eminent Asian-American playwrights were invited by Chicago’s Silk Road Theatre Project to take a voyage through their own pasts, via a simple test of their DNA. The results of those journeys, and the questions that arose concerning heritage, ancestry, identity and the perils of such explorations, are the basis of a fascinating evening of new short plays.
We’re very excited to be a part of this very original production, and are working with the Silk Road Theatre Project in conjunction with the Goodman Theatre distributing promotional materials as part of our street marketing campaign. Be sure to get your tickets for these exciting events!
The DNA Trail is at Pierce Hall at the Historic Chicago Temple Building March 2nd through April 4th. Please visit www.silkroadproject.org and www.goodmantheatre.org for more information.

In the exciting new premiere directed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, The Long Red Road tells the story of Sam, a man drinking to forget a horrible family tragedy. When someone from his past comes to visit him on the isolated Indian reservation where he lives, Sam must confront his past and face what he has become and what he did to tear his family apart.
It’s always a pleasure working with the Goodman Theatre, and we are particular excited about working on this highly anticipated performance. Our street team will be making the rounds distributing posters and flyers for The Long Red Road. This is sure to be one of the most popular productions in Chicago this year, so be sure to get tickets now!

Just in time for the start of the new year, this double dose of Brian Dennehy makes its way to the Goodman Theatre. First up is Hughie, the story of high-rolling gambler Erie (Brian Dennehy) and Hughie (Joe Grifasi), the credulous night clerk at his apartment building. Next is Krapp’s Last Tape, Samuel Beckett’s classic one-act, one-man show about a man celebrating his 69th birthday, and his annual tradition of making a recording of himself for the occasion.
We are distributing posters advertising both shows all over the Chicago area. Being huge Dennehy fans here at the office, it goes without saying that we are very excited to be working with the Goodman on this project. Be sure to get your tickets before they’re gone!
Hughie/Krapp’s Last Tape is at the Goodman Theatre January 16th through February 21st. Please visit www.goodmantheatre.org for more information.

This Saturday, the world premier of Alan Gross’s High Holidays will be opening in the Owen Theatre at the Goodman. This darkly comic, boisterous look at growing up in the Chicago suburbs during the early sixties is the story of 13-year old Billy Roman and the rollicking, anxiety-riddled preparations for his Bar Mitzvah. When Billy’s rebellious older brother returns from college during the Jewish high holidays, his family—the little Roman Empire—begins to wobble and crack as it is forced to examine some hard truths about coming of age in America.
High Holidays opens on Saturday, October 31st and will run through November 29th in the Owen Theatre. For tickets, click here.

Over a month ago, we began a poster distribution campaign for Goodman Theatre’s production Boleros for the Disenchanted. Written by José Rivera, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of The Motorcycle Diaries, Boleros is a “bittersweet and ultimately uplifting story about what it takes for two people to make a life together far from home.” Come see the show the Chicago Sun Times described as ”Highly Recommended.”
Boleros for the Disenchanted is at the Goodman Theatre, in the Albert, through July 26th.
