We're excited to announce that Warren's new full-length play Ekphrasis has begun rehearsals at the Sideshow Theatre Company in Chicago. The show will open on August 13, 2009 at the Viaduct Theatre (3111 N. Western Ave, Chicago, IL) and will run through September 20. Ticket information is on the Viaduct Theatre website on their upcoming schedule. Friend and fellow CUA alum Megan Smith is directing the comedy with a professional Chicago cast.
We'll update with more information as the show progresses. We're thrilled to be working with Sideshow this summer. We hope you can make it to Chicago to see the show - we know it's going to be hilarious.
From Sideshow:
The history of art spans millions of years. This fall, Sideshow Theater Company fits it into 90 minutes.
Join us on a slightly condensed and always irreverent journey through the history of art, on a mission to understand exactly where art comes from and our human desire to create. Who really designed the pyramids? What put that smile on the Mona Lisa's face? Why wouldn't Whistler let his mother pose nude? Nopiece of artwork is sacred as Sideshow explores the conversations between artist, subject and self from cave men sketching on the walls in France to Warhol confronting his can of Tomato Soup. Get the story (some fact and some fiction) on some of the world’s most iconic images, delivered by the company of magicians, freaks andgeeks that brought you the critically acclaimed Dante Dies!! (and then thingsget weird) and Everything Freezes: another winter's tale.
"This is not the truth - it is only the story."
