BIG LOVE at Chicago Dramatists

[producingbody], announces the cast of their second production, Charles Mee's Big Love. 

Last seen on a Chicago stage 10 years ago, fifty brides flee their fifty grooms and seek refuge in a villa on the coast of Italy in this modern re-making of one of the western world's oldest plays, The Danaids by Aeschylus. And, in this villa on the Italian coast, the fifty grooms catch up with the brides and mayhem ensues (charlesmee.org). 

Big Love will run from February 16 - March 17, 2024 at Chicago Dramatists: 798 N Aberdeen St, Chicago, IL 60642. Tickets are available for purchase here.

[producingbody] is a group of theatre artists, unaffiliated with an established company with three goals: to independently produce compelling theatre, pay our artists a competitive and equitable industry rate, and share with our work with the Chicago community. Together we envision creating something that is alive, palpable, and reflective of the creators at the center of it.
