This gripping new play uncovers the human story at the heart of the 1960s American Civil Rights Movement. Tensions build in the increasingly hostile South as a trio of emerging black leaders attempts to conquer their individual demons amid death threats from the Ku Klux Klan and wire taps by the FBI. Through personal and intimate stories inspired by the political upheavals of the era, The Good Negro examines the human frailties behind the historic headlines.
We are beginning to work to distribute posters advertising The Good Negro throughout the city of Chicago. Keep an eye out for our staff in action as they blanket the city with posters. Be sure to get your tickets now, and check out how to be a member of the Goodman Theater and take advantage of the amazing deals the theater has to offer.
The Good Negro is at Goodman Theatre in the Albert May 1st through June 6th. Please visit www.goodmantheatre.org for more information.

A True History of the Johnstown Flood introduces us to The Baxter Theatre Troupe who have been summoned to perform at an exclusive resort next to a beautiful man-made lake in the Pennsylvania mountains. When a violent rainstorm compromises the lake’s shoddily constructed dam, the resulting disaster lays bare the tragic inequities of the rigid class system-and paves the way for a seismic change in both theater and society.
We’ll be distributing posters in support of the Goodman’s latest production all over the city. Be sure to get your tickets for this world premiere written by Rebecca Giman, and directed by Robert Falls.
A True History of the Jonestown Flood is at the Goodman Theatre March 13th through April 18th. Please visit www.goodmantheatre.org for more information.

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.srtp.org and www.goodmantheatre.org for more information.

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.
