William Petersen, former star of CBS-TV’s CSI, returns to the city where he first cut his chops as an actor.  For Victory Gardens’ latest production Blackbird (which is British Slang for “jailbird”) Petersen plays Ray, an ex con who reunites with his former lover from 15 years ago.  See the show the Associated Press calls ”a fascinating and unnerving ninety-minute cat and mouse tale of revenge and sexual intrigue, with genuine theatricality and undeniable shock value.”

Blackbird is playing at Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre through August 9th.

Love Person asks the question, “can love transcend sexual orientation, physical attraction, and social structure, and rely instead on the ways in which people communicate?” Two couples, three cultures, and four languages blossom, break, sustain, repair, and flourish in this language laden love mystery, performed in American Sign Language, Sanskrit, English, and projected e-mail. This is the Chicago premiere of Love Person, and we are excited to be working another streetmarketing campaign with Victory Gardens.  Keep an eye out for flyers and posters at locations near you!

Love Person opens May 15th at Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre, and runs through June 14th.

From the award-winning author of Court-Martial at Fort Devens, Flyovers, and The Value of Names comes this new comedy about youth, and living with the consequences of how you spend it. Class Dismissed is the story of a rich kid attending college in the 1960′s trying to discover who he is, and what his priorities are. We will be running another street campaign for this latest show, utilizing our various distribution talents as always.  Victory Gardens is known for putting on unique and exciting productions, and this one is no exception. 

Class Dismissed is at Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre through April 26th.

Why Literally Sexy 2? Well, as the title says “Because it feels so good.”  This late night variety show is back for two nights only in April.  Yesterday, we began poster distribution for the show that combines burlesque, bondage, erotica, and comedy.  Sequels are always bigger and badder so be sure to check out the show. If you do manage to get tickets, make it a point to arrive at 9:30pm to take advantage of drink specials while browsing a selection of erotic items from G Boutique.

Literally Sexy 2 is at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre April 3rd & 10th.

Victory Gardens always produces an eclectic range of plays.  From holiday themed productions, to comedy, they do it all.  We’re very excited to be working with Victory Gardens once again on one of their latest productions, Living Green.  Written by ensemble member Gloria Bond Clunie and directed by Andrea J. Dymond, Living Green explores the effects on an African American family when they move out of the “old neighborhood” and to a mostly white Chicago suburb. What happens to families as they “move up” and flee the black communities that once nurtured them?  The only way to find out, is to see the show.

Living Green is at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theater through March 1st.

Returning for it’s third year here in Chicago, the Snow Queen is a wonderful holiday show for the entire family.  Based on the classic tale by Hans Christian Anderson, the Snow Queen is brought to life on stage with a wonderous musical score and amazing puppetry that will entertain audiences of all ages.  This is the first year since Victory Gardens has taken over the legendary Biograph, and looks like they will wrap up the year with much critial acclaim.

The Snow Queen is at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre from now until December 28th.
