The Chicago Premiere
Scorched
By Wajdi Mouawad
Directed by Dale Heinen
Carried aloft by poetic language and evocative imagery, Scorched unfolds in a dreamlike atmosphere connecting the origins of one family in startling and unforgettable ways. A brother and sister raised in Quebec must return to their mother's war-torn country to carry out her last wishes - finding the father and brother they never knew they had. |

The Midwest Premiere
Yellow Face
By David Henry Hwang
Directed by Steve Scott
A revealing backstage comedy from the Tony Award-winning author of M. Butterfly, this ferociously funny, utterly unreliable memoir chronicles David Henry Hwang's struggle to define racial identity in the mixed-up melting pot of contemporary America. Part fact, part fiction, Yellow Face explores the pitfalls and promise of our "P.C." world. |
