The Greenhouse Theater Center is pleased to announce casting for its world premiere of David Cohen's historical drama TRUMAN AND THE BIRTH OF ISRAEL, directed by Will Rogers.

TRUMAN AND THE BIRTH OF ISRAEL will feature Catherine Dvorak, Tim Kough, Peter Nerad and Andrew Pond.

From humble beginnings as a poor farmer, soldier, and failed business man to the unimaginable: President! Thrust headlong into global turmoil, TRUMAN AND THE BIRTH OF ISRAEL tells the story of one Missouri man's unlikely rise to power and the controversial role he played in the founding of the State of Israel.

The Greenhouse Theater Center (GTC) is a producing theater company, performance venue and theatre bookstore located at 2257 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood.

GTC began its producing life in 2014 with the smash hit Churchill, followed by 2016's much-lauded Solo Celebration!, an eight month, 16 event series highlighting the breadth and depth of the solo play form. In 2017-18, the Greenhouse presented its first full subscription season, including Machinal (4 stars from Chicago Tribune's Chris Jones) and the Chicago premiere of Birds of a Feather.

As a performance venue, the Greenhouse complex offers two newly remodeled 190-seat main stage spaces, two 60-seat studio theaters, two high-capacity lobbies and an in-house rehearsal room. GTC also houses Chicago's only dedicated used theatre bookstore, located on the second floor the complex.

The Greenhouse Theater Center's mission is first and foremost to grow local theatre. GTC seeks local theatre companies and artists to partner on co-productions, offering partners a multitude of resources including an equitable split of production costs, production manager, full-service box office and front-of-house staff, artistic consultation, marketing and public relations support and a full-service bar with concessions.
