I’m going to be in another play. It’s The Oxford Roof Climber’s Rebellion by Stephen Massicotte produced by Caffeine Theatre in Chicago. Our preview is tomorrow night and we open on Saturday, March 10th. I have a small part, but it’s a doozy. Let’s just say that I’m involved in gunplay.
“What life to lead and where to go, After the war, after the war?” In the aftermath of World War I, the poet Robert Graves and T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) languish at Oxford facing disillusionment with the war that still haunts them. Playing mischievous pranks on university administrators passes the time but soon escalates into a climactic confrontation that brings the Arab Revolt dangerously close to home. A Chicago Premiere!
I made a map on how to get there. There’s free parking just around the corner. That’s right! Free parking in Chicago. You can thank the Social Security Administration who owns the lot. Click the image to see the map full screen.
One of the main characters is Lawrence of Arabia, and it’s just off Lawrence Avenue on Leavitt. There is no one named Leavitt in the play. That would an awesome coincidence.
There will be an industry night on Wednesday April 11th (more details on that when I get them). Otherwise it will run at Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 pm and Saturday afternoons at 3 pm until April 14th. There will be no shows on Easter weekend, because the theatre is in the basement of a church. And churches are busy on Easter weekend.
You can get tickets on Brown Paper Tickets. That rocks because they are a non profit which charge really tiny service fees compared to evil companies like Ticketmaster.
