The Goodman Theatre and Teatro Vista are currently staging “El Nogolar.” Written by Tanya Saracho and directed by Cecilie D. Keenan, the play is about the Galvin family. New City recommends the show saying, “Tanya Saracho’s reworking of Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” as “El Nogalar” (The Pecan Orchard) crafts a more complex and colorful picture of a nation not only in a constant struggle to come to terms with its neighbor to the north, for sure, but also with its own troubled past and present.”

The direction team has focused on distributing materials to Chicago’s Hispanic neighborhoods including Pilsen, Little Village, West Lawn, Back of the Yards and more.

“El Nogolar” runs until April 24 at the Goodman Theatre. Please visit goodmantheatre.org for tickets and more information.

One of the most highly praised comedic plays in recent memory is running at the Goodman Theatre. After a highly successful Broadway run that merited the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and three Tony Awards, including Best Play, “God of Carnage” will be in Chicago for the next month. Time Out Chicago has said, “Snyder and his crack quartet of actors masterfully maneuver among the play’s shifting loyalties and increasingly over-the-top recriminations as the parents slip from surface civility into increasingly childish psychological blows of their own.”

The direction staff has been distributed posters and handbills throughout the city and suburbs for “God of Carnage.”

“God of Carnage” runs until April 17 at the Goodman Theatre, two shows on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Visit goodmantheatre.org for tickets and more information.

Regina Taylor is about to debut her new play trilogy in Chicago this month at the Goodman. “Jar Fly”, “Rain” and “Ghoststory” tell the story of Iris Spears. “Jar Fly” covers her teen years and their lost innocence. “Rain” presents Iris as a 34-year old in a failing marriage who just wants to go back home. The final piece, “Ghoststory”, gives us Iris looking back and examining her life. The Dallas Morning News has called the trilogy, “sprawling, florid, earthy and abundantly alive.”

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.

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.
