21-22 Mainstage Season
Rose and the Rime – January 20-22
Young Rose lives a peaceful, carefree life in her tiny wintry town of Radio Falls. Sledding through snow dunes, drinking hot chocolate and listening to stories told by her Uncle Roger, it all seems pretty grand. True, it's always winter, but it's been like that all her life—how could she know the difference? But one day when Rose asks her Uncle Roger the truth of what happened to her parents, she learns there's more to the history of Radio Falls than she could have ever realized. One of The House Theatre of Chicago's most beloved original myths, Rose and the Rime reminds us once more that anything powerful enough to fulfill all your dreams is also powerful enough to destroy them.
Fiddler on the Roof – April 1-9
Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof's universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion.Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof is the brainchild of Broadway legends Jerome Robbins, Jerry Bock, and Sheldon Harnick. Still touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon.
Love/Sick – June 9-11
From the same author and written in a similar style as Almost, Maine, Love/Sick is a collection of slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, this one-act romp explores the pain and joy that comes with being in love. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, Love/Sick is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
