​I DO TODAY - The World Premiere!

Failed relationships, former lovers, and half eaten wedding cake clutter the mind of one Jewish woman determined to track the trajectory of love and loss in her life. I Do Today builds a constantly confounding and quickly changing family tree of many marriages (and even more divorces), posing questions about how modern marriage fits into old ideals.  Bisexuality, kabbalah and baby teeth dangle from the branches of this thoughtful play exploring how we might use our inheritances to re-imagine what’s possible.

Other Theatre's critically acclaimed 2015 hit returns! Chicago drag queen sensation Dixie Lynn Cartwright stars in this musical parody of Elf. After Santa Claus retires, his wicked son begins a not-so-jolly reign as the new head of Christmas. The North Pole begins to crumble under his tyrannical rule, and Barney the Elf is forced to leave his home. But can he truly leave Christmas behind for a new life in the big city? 
THREESOME - The Chicago Premiere!

​Leila and Rashid, Egyptian Americans with ties to Cairo, attempt to solve their relationship issues by inviting a relative stranger into their bedroom to engage in a threesome. What begins as a hilariously awkward evening soon becomes an experience fraught with secrets, raising issues of sexism, possession and independence. ​Jeff Recommended.
