About the project: Shortly after the Great Fire, “Captain” George Streeter and his wife Ma are building a utopian community on a sandbar in Lake Michigan right outside the city limits of Chicago. Unfortunately, his ex-wife Minnie is tagging along to set the record straight. Combining elements of Greek tragedy, vaudeville, farce, history play, and Brechtian lehrstücke, this is the outrageous (mostly) true story of how Chicago’s most expensive neighborhood came into existence. Rate: $250+ Additional info: Material to Prepare: Please prepare anything but a monologue. A song, a story, a joke, a stupid people trick. Whatever you’ve got that isn’t a memorized monologue. Directors are looking to put together a skilled ensemble with a broad range of skills, so they want to see what you bring to the table The show will be performed in February and March in a converted space in the Water Tower Place mall. Rehearsals will begin in December and take place three nights a week. Please apply if interested.
