PRAISE FOR
TOUCH
JEFF NON-EQUITY AWARDS 2009
OUTSTANDING
LIGHTING DESIGN -
JARED B. MOORE
NOMINATION
(SOUND DESIGN)-
NICK KEENAN
"one of the North Side's most trustworthy, modest and aesthetically pleasing theater collectives ... Granata handles [his role] with dignity and restraint, and proves a solid anchor for this accomplished, quiet quartet of performances ... New Leaf's artists yet again demonstrate their facility with actors, lights and sound."
- Christopher Piatt
Time Out Chicago
"New Leaf Theatre rises to Press-Coffman's challenge by doing its own smart subversions in its richly emotional and moving staging ... Don't be surprised if they move you to tears."
- Scott C. Morgan
Windy City Times
PRAISE FOR
SIX YEARS
"THEY WUZ ROBBED [of a Jeff nomination because] Frigid, sexless disillusionment reminds us too much of the Bush years. Looks like Marsha Harman and Sean Patrick Fawcett, the miserable married couple in Jessica Hutchinson's lovely little production of Six Years at New Leaf Theatre, picked the wrong season to portray aching ennui so accurately."
- Christopher Piatt
TimeOut Chicago
"CRITIC'S PICK ... beautifully acted ... FOUR STARS ... Hutchinson's small-but-searing production is fittingly claustrophobic; ... Fawcett and Harman throb with tender resentment and quiet desperation."
- Zac Thompson
TimeOut Chicago
PRAISE FOR
GIRL IN THE GOLDFISH BOWL
"Kaitlyn Bird ... [gives] a very charismatic performance ... [New Leaf] always chooses intelligent plays and they go out of their way to choose ... unusual scripts that we haven't seen before."
- Jonathan Abarbanel & Kelly Kleiman
848's Dueling Critics, WBEZ-FM Chicago Public Radio
"[Y]ou'll ... admire the quicksilver performance late-twentysomething Kaitlin Byrd is giving as a legitimately precocious ten-year-old ... a performance that has to be difficult to execute but couldn't be easier to watch."
- Christopher Piatt
TimeOut Chicago

2008 - 2009 SEASON
How do we build a future from a present we didn't expect?
APRIL 17 - MAY 9, 2009
THE LONG COUNT
an original work developed by the New Leaf Company
The Long Count, currently in development, will invite the company and our audiences to leap into the myriad possibilities revealed in the future we can't foresee. New Leaf is excited to use a variety of performative resources - movement, fable, sound, light, music, environment - to create something that speaks to us and through us about the uncertainties facing all of us. In response to this unexpected present, the company is delving into new artistic territory together. This collaboration is the answer to the question even as we ask it - how do we build a future from a present we didn't expect?
