The Plagiarists' CIRCLE HOUSE Continues Through the End of May
Circle House, which opened Friday, April 27, is the newest production from The Plagiarists, a return to a group-writing style that is rather uniquely theirs. Company member and lead playwright Jessica Wright Buha organized a group of writers and artists into multiple writing sessions over several months, exploring both the cyclical nature and unsteadiness of nature and life. From there the script was developed by Buha and her team, then masterfully tackled by the sure and sensitive hand of director Kate Nawrocki.
The Plagiarists' THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH Explores Humanity's Oldest Story and the Man Who Discovered It
An epic play several thousand years in in the making just opened in Chicago and it is a not to be missed trip through time. From playwright Gregory Peters and the Plagiarists, The Epic of Gilgamesh as Told by Mr. George Smith, Associate Curator of the British Museum (Deceased) covers the remarkably parallel adventure stories of part-god, part-man Gilgamesh and Mr. George Smith, the Assyriologist who uncovered much of the Mesopotamian texts.

Saint Sebastian Players Present FIGMENTS, Now thru 5/20
To conclude its 31st season, the Saint Sebastian Players present the farce Figments, which celebrates writer's block and the power of the imagination, written by Billy St. John. Performances take place tonight, April 27, through May 20.
Did David die? Will Louise be able to stop Winston from killing Veronica? If only playwright Rick Jacobs could get past his massive case of writer's block…not to mention the interruptions from his upstairs neighbor Loni, who he is secretly and desperately in love with, and his typical Jewish mother, who constantly criticizes and cleans. As this farce unfolds, we meet the "figments" of Rick's imagination-his fantasy versions of himself, Loni, his mother and more-as well as the characters from his stalled play. Eventually, the people and the "figments" help Rick resolve the issues in his life-on the page and in real life.
