I’ve been told they blend in because they look like everyone else.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Artistic Associate Rachel Sypniewski’s incredible costume design for THE MAN WHO WAS THURSDAY – and we thought you might want to join in the fun.
This halloween, New Leaf is offering a $5 discount if you join us for our October 31st show… and if you come dressed as one of THE SUPREME COUNCIL OF ANARCHISTS:
Tuesday: Gogol
Wednesday: The Marquis De St. Eustache
Thursday: Gabriel Syme
Friday: The Professor De Worms
Saturday: Dr. Bull
and naturally: Sunday.
(don’t forget the Chucks)
Oh, and don’t miss the delightful reviews:
“RECOMMENDED … a whip-smart adaptation … Jessica Hutchinson’s inventive staging and an agile ensemble find the right balance between the ridiculous masquerades of the anarchists (one in full Cyrano regalia) and the chilling realization that, once unmasked by the world, none of us knows what our next step should be.” – Chicago Reader
“FOUR STARS … a piece that flirts with the spectacular … Dardai has structured his tale deftly … the director and her designers … compel us onto our toes” – TimeOut Chicago
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED … a smorgasbord of theatrical delights: from intelligent, often hilarious acting from the entire ensemble to director Jessica Hutchinson’s delightful, innovative staging and Nick Keenan’s ingenious sound design … Dan Granata’s delivery and timing are a marvel … a beautifully coordinated, versatile and very talented cast … Bilal Dardai has wisely retained the complexity and richness of Chesterton’s literary prose.” – Centerstage
“RECOMMENDED … Jessica Hutchinson’s directing is hip, astute and responsive, with a semi-promenade that makes brilliant use of space and has actors circulating amongst the audience without any sense of clumsy attempts at “interactivity.” Acting is deft across the board … along with gorgeous technical theater” – New City
