COMPLETELY RE-IMAGINED FOR A LIMITED ENGAGEMENT THIS FALL

The creative team that captivated audiences in 2007 with the smash-hit The Sparrow, will re-imagine their 2005 hit, DAVE DAVINCI SAVES THE UNIVERSE, this fall for a limited engagement at the Chopin Theatre, 1543 W Division St.  Written by Chris Mathews, Jake Minton and Nathan Allen, directed by Nathan Allen, and presented by The House Theatre of Chicago, DAVE DAVINCI SAVES THE UNIVERSE will run September 18 - November 8, 2008.  Press opening is Sunday, September 21.  Tickets are $10-$29, and may be purchased by calling (773) 251-2195 or online at www.thehousetheatre.com. 

The writers of The Sparrow have gone back in time to re-imagine the most daring story they have ever told.  DAVE DAVINCI SAVES THE UNIVERSE tells the story of the world’s most famous scientist working against the clock to invent the only thing that can save his daughter’s life and his marriage; a time machine.  The House Theatre of Chicago shares a completely fresh version of an original favorite with new characters, sharper dialogue, a new design, more heartfelt comedy, and tighter twists than ever before.  This giant leap forward in the life of an unpredictable, smart and amusing story of timeless love in the face of tragic loss is not to be missed!

DAVE DAVINCI SAVES THE UNIVERSE is written by Chris Mathews, Jake Minton and Nathan Allen, and directed by Nathan Allen.  The cast includes Carolyn Defrin (The Sparrow, The Valentine Trilogy), Paige Hoffman (The Sparrow, The Great and Terrible Wizard of Oz), Joshua Holden (The Nutcracker, Hope Springs Infernal), Stacy Stoltz (Hatfield & McCoy, The Hypocrites’ Our Town), Stephen Taylor (The Great and Terrible Wizard of Oz, The Terrible Tragedy of Peter Pan) and Dennis Watkins (The Magnificents, Death and Harry Houdini).

Original music is composed by Kevin O’Donnell, with new scenic design by Collette Pollard, new lighting design by Ben Wilhelm, new costume design by Debbie Baer, sound design by Michael Griggs, and props design by Michelle N. Warner.

DAVE DAVINCI SAVES THE UNIVERSE will be re-imagined for a limited engagement September 18 – November 8, 2008 at the Chopin Theatre (1543 W. Division St).  Performances are Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 7 p.m.  Please note: there will not be a performance at 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 20.  Tickets are $10-$29, and may be purchased by calling (773) 251-2195 or online at www.thehousetheatre.com.
