The Court Theatre is premiering “Invisible Man,” the first authorized by The Ralph and Fanny Ellison Charitable Trust. The landmark American novel is now a groundbreaking play. The Chicago Tribune is raving about the production. “Like so much in this singular, 600-page, 1952 novel — and now, at the Court Theatre in Chicago, a remarkable, 205-minute, must-see, three-act dramatic achievement adapted by the writer and filmmaker Oren Jacoby — that remark offers very good advice for anyone, say, staring with disbelief at the men who make up a presidential primary, or merely trying to deal with a neighbor of a diffrerent stripe.”

The direction team has been distributing handbills and hanging posters throughout the south side and near north side of Chicago.

“Invisible Man” runs until February 19 at the Court Theatre on the campus of the University of Chicago. Tickets for this critically acclaimed show are available. For seats and information on the rest of the 2011-12 Court season, please visit courttheatre.org.

The Chicago Sun-Times highly recommends this production and has said, “director Jessica Thebus’ fleet, fluid, luminous, exquisitely imagined, impeccably realized production for Court Theatre in which the radiantly handsome/beautiful Amy J. Carle gives a fiercely intelligent, physically bold, altogether stellar performance in the marathon title role.”

When the good people at Fox asked us to hand out free samples of Tide in order to promote the new season of American Idol, we gave them an enthusiastic “Yes!”  We organized teams in Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago to hit various college campuses; the perfect place to give away free detergent.  Here in Chicago, our team targeted the prestigious University of Chicago on the city’s south side in the beautiful Hyde Park neighborhood.  College students love free things, especially things that clean their clothes other than their mom.  The distribution was a huge success in each city, and thanks to us, many broke college kids will now be able to do laundry.  Even though Chicago is our home, direction is capable of reaching most major cities and executing unique promotions.  So whether you want us to hand out laundry detergent samples, or just plain flyers, we can meet your needs.
