Bee is a young woman who believes she has the uncanny ability to see the future, and maybe even alter it. With the click of a television remote, we loop through time in this dark, funny world premiere about a woman bent on reinventing her own destiny, and possibly, the world.
We worked with Steppenwolf distributing posters and handbills throughout the city, including hand-to-hand distributions at a few outdoor events. Be sure to check out this latest production before it ends.
A Parallelogram is at the Steppenwolf in the Downstairs Theatre through August 29th. Please visit www.steppenwolf.org for more information.

Samuel Beckett’s absurd comic masterpiece follows Hamm, a blind man unable to stand, and his servant Clov, who is unable to sit. Pestered by his parents, Hamm directs this unusual family through their daily rituals, awaiting the end of everything. Swerving from the magnificent to the minuscule and from the profound to the profoundly ridiculous, a powerful all-ensemble cast brings to life this epic tale.
We are in the middle of another exciting distribution campaign for Steppenwolf, and are looking forward to seeing Endgame. Now is your chance to see one of Beckett’s greatest works. Check out Steppenwolf’s website to find out how to get tickets!
Endgame is at the Steppenwolf Theatre through June 6th. Please visit www.steppenwolf.org for more information.

The Young Adult Council is a unique after-school program for passionate and motivated high school students who want to learn the inner-workings of professional theatre from the most celebrated artists in the city. In addition to invaluable face-time with these leading professionals, Council members attend the best plays in Chicago, learn how to analyze and speak about these plays, and organize events for their peers.
We are utilizing our youth route in order to distribute posters advertising this program around high schools, and high school hangouts in the city of Chicago. We’ve worked with Steppenwolf before on similar projects involving youth, and we enjoy helping to offer special programs like these to future stars of the stage.
For more information on the Young Adult Council, please visit www.steppenwolf.org.
