About Face Theatre presents the world premiere of AD HOC [HOME], a devised play exploring "family" written by and featuring members of the the About Face Youth Theatre Ensemble and directed by AFT Education and Outreach Director Ali Hoefnagel and Education Associate Kieran Kredell. AD HOC [HOME] will play now through July 31, 2016 at the Claudia Cassidy Theater at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington St. in Chicago. The press opening is tonight, July 22, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
AD HOC [HOME] explores queer experiences of given family, chosen family and the family members we collect and lose along the way. Through storytelling, video and movement, the critically acclaimed About Face Youth Theatre Ensemble investigates the questions of who we are at our core and how families shape our identities.
The production team for AD HOC [HOME] includes Arnel Sanciano (scenic design), Jos N. Banks (costume design), Kaili Story (lighting design), BranDon Reed (sound design), Paul Deziel (projection design), Nikki Veit (assistant director) and John Carlin (stage manager).
Tickets are pay-what-you-can at the door. Advance reservations can be made at www.aboutfacetheatre.org or by calling (773) 784-8565.
