Be a Part of Our Process!

You're invited to our FREE Reading

May 13th @ 7:30pm @ The Belle Plaine Studio, 2014 W Belle Plaine, Chicago, IL 60618

At Jackalope, we want the theatre we make to be the theatre the community helps us make. We would like you to join us at our upcoming public reading to lend us your ears, your time, and your insight.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
From the script by Charles Mee. Adapted by AJ Ware, Melanie Berner, and Andrew Burden Swanson. Directed by Associate Artistic Director, AJ Ware.

The production by Charles Mee and the SITI Company was a hit at 2008's Humana Festival.  Ware, Berner, and Swanson take the concept- a dissection of American life seen through the eyes of visual artists- and infuse it with Jackalope's signature aesthetic.  Juxtaposing the work of Norman Rockwell and modern artist, Tom Deininger, Under Construction asks how far we can really remove ourselves from our past and whether we can be truly whole by doing so.  Info on the workshop and production coming soon, so keep an eye out!
