PRAISE FOR
BURYING MISS AMERICA
FOUR STARS ... New Leaf's tight production of Brian Golden's new play delivers ideal American realism: seamless movement from emotional peak to trough, focus on familial dynamics, and a yearning to understand the past as turnkey to the present.
- Ryan Dolley
TimeOut Chicago
Burying Miss America is one of the best plays I've seen this season.
- Lauren Whalen
Chicago Theatre Beat
PRAISE FOR
LIGHTHOUSEKEEPING
JEFF RECOMMENDED
"... a beautiful call for unabashed, wide-eyed optimism in the face of darkness."
- Neal Ryan Shaw
New City
"The acting is sensational ... young Caroline Phillips is terrific, [Tien Doman] is terrific ... they are simply cradled by the set and the sound design."
- Kelly Kleiman
WBEZ's Dueling Critics
PRAISE FOR
REDEEMERS
"RECOMMENDED ... what really makes the show are Dardai's writerly digressions that snake through the air like curlicues, each a droll observation about miserable winters, the psychology of bartenders or children who try your patience ... he and director Jessica Hutchinson have pulled together a nice little piece that captures the off-kilter relationships that spring up among work friends."
- Nina Metz
Chicago Tribune
"RECOMMENDED ... Jessica Hutchinson's sharp, site-specific staging for New Leaf Theatre has the trio telling their story -- part confession, part self-justification -- to their fellow patrons (us) at a pizzeria. A clever reversal of a classic becomes a shrewd and probing exploration of the corrosive effects of withholding forgiveness."

2011 - 2012 SEASON
MAY 2012
ARCADIA
by Tom Stoppard
directed by Jessica Hutchinson
Rediscover Tom Stoppard's classic 1993 play. Lady Thomasina Coverly, aged thirteen, quietly solves the mysteries of the universe in the midst of an English estate's worth of intrigue. Nearly two centuries later, Hannah Jarvis tries to put the pieces together and discover meaning in the debris. Three generations pursue passion and knowledge through the chaos of history.
