Wow,
Our secret subscription campaign is gaining steam, and our secrets are starting to leak! So today we are going to set the record straight on the latest hearsay and confess to the info that has leaked.
So here it is:
BackStage Theatre Company opens its 11th season with the Chicago premiere of Jonathan Lichtenstein’s Memory!
This deceptively simple but deeply challenging play begins with several actors rehearsing in a room and expands to examine holocaust era Berlin and modern-day Israel and Palestine. The play seems to be about a man who questions his estranged grandmother about the validity of a long-held family legend. But ultimately, the play becomes about history, and the ways that humanity uses its art, its secrets and its memories to shape the history of our families, ourselves and our societies.
This is an exciting, inventive play by a unique emerging playwright, and we are deeply honored to give Mr. Lichtenstein’s play its Chicago premiere.
So there you have it! Another secret has gone public. We are thrilled to give you, our extended family, the information first hand.
The only drawback to verifying this information is that we now have to raise our subscription price again. The current price for a subscription to our 2010-2011 two-show season of “Family Secrets” is now $30! You can purchase those subscriptions here, and you’ll receive the discount after you enter the word MEMORY.
Only a few more details will be leaked before the subscription price is back up to its full price, so head over to the subscription link to take advantage of whatever remains of our secret campaign . . .
More soon.
