Exit 63 Theatre Announces 2nd Season: UNHINGED

Exit 63 Theatre has announced its second season, presenting three shows, two Chicago premieres, starting in 2019 and being performed across the city. Exit 63 titles this season 'UNHINGED'.

The 2019 season kicks off in January where Associate Artistic Director Nora Lise Ulrey will direct the Chicago premiere of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's DARK MATTERS. In an isolated house at the edge of a cornfield, in the mountains of Virginia, something almost beyond belief is happening to the Cleary family. When Bridget Cleary goes missing, in the dead of the night, her husband Michael and son, Jeremy, scramble to help Sheriff Richard Egan find her. Then, as suddenly as she vanished, Bridget reappears, talking about strange visitations and otherworldly beings. Is she lying? Or are supernatural forces at work?
January 10 - January 20, 2019 in Rogers Park

The season continues with the Chicago premiere of Steve Yockey's WOLVES directed by Derek Van Barham performing at Jackalope's Frontier Space in Edgewater in May. Listed in Out Magazine's Top-10-Stage-Plays of 2012! In WOLVES, two men's folie à deux overtakes their small apartment and spills out onto city streets. When ex-boyfriend Jack brings a strange man home to woodland-obsessed Ben's apartment, the Narrator can barely keep a lid on the looming violence. This "deconstruction" of the Little Red Riding Hood story is a darkly comic, predatory fairy tale for adults that explores the conflation of sex and fear in modern culture, the comfort of lava lamps, and the dangers of a handy axe.
May 16 - June 2, 2019

Twelve-year-old Ashleigh rules the Lady Jean Ladies, South Florida's most exclusive horse club.
