The 2025/2026 Season
This 18th season sees a vibrant line-up of newly created plays for the whole community. We begin the season with Jackalope's first family-friendly production, The Dress-Up Play, intended for all ages and identities. Then, Jackalope and its audiences journey into the imagination of Chicago's acclaimed playwright, Terry Guest, in his latest world premiere production, Andy Warhol Presents: The Cocaine Play. The summer ends with the ever-urgent artistic responses to the year's news with the Living Newspaper Festival. Bold and welcoming, season 18 sets Jackalope on course for another era of essential new plays produced at our home in the Broadway Armory Park.

The Dress-Up Play is a new family friendly production from Jackalope. New friends gather in a bedroom to play dress up. But who gets to wear what? Do our clothes have to match what we look like outside? And what if our outside doesn’t match our inside? Filled with tutus, fake mustaches, scarves and fierce runway walks. The Dress-Up Play is an immersive fashion party for all ages that celebrates self-expression, open-mindedness and the wholeness of everyone.

Andy Warhol Presents: The Cocaine Pay
written Terry Guest
Directed by AmBer Montgomery

Jackalope Theatre in Broadway Armory Park

It’s 1962 in New York City and Andy Warhol (no, not that Andy Warhol) is stuck. He hasn’t finished a painting in years and has no new ideas. When a mysterious actress named Marilyn Monroe (no, not that Marilyn Monroe) stumbles into his life, she sends him down an epic path of madness, murder, betrayal and the desperate pursuit of fame, sex and beauty. Andy Warhol presents: The Cocaine Play is a 100% fake story about 100% real people that asks how far are you willing to go for the chance at superstardom.
