Next Up The Dionysos Cup 2008 Polarity Ensemble Theatre presents staged readings of new full-length plays by Chicago area playwrights David Alex, Darren Callahan, Lisa Rosenthal and Bryce Wissel in competition for the Dionysos Cup 2008. The festival is a new plays development process that will culminate in staged readings of the four new works that were selected from open submissions. For more details, click here. We are now in residence at the Josephinum Academy, 1500 N. Bell, Chicago, in the space that the Keyhole Theatre had been using for the past four or five years. We've set ourselves our most ambitious year yet. We will follow the Dionysos Cup with the world premiere production of Darren Callahan's The White Airplane (a script from our first Dionysos Cup), directed by Susan Padveen, which we will also publish. The White Airplane will run February 13 - March 22, 2009. We will continue to develop Singing in the Grave, a darkly comic musical, with book and lyrics by Richard Engling and music by Greg Silva. And we will finish the season with Sheridan's The Rivals, an hilarious Restoration comedy of manners, directed by our own Laura Sturm, April 10 - May 17, 2009.
