TOTC is thrilled to support Savanna Rae and Daughters of Ire as she and the production continue inspiring audiences everywhere. The original production (produced by TOTC) ran in September 2015 before embarking on an independent regional tour.
Ferocious, fragile and funny women from Irish legend claw their way into the present in this breathless world premiere by Savanna Rae. "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! [Rae is] a mesmerizing dynamo with the kind of feminist passion sorely lacking from local stages." - The Chicago Reader

Savanna Rae (Seanchai) is thrilled and honored to tell these ancient stories with TOTC. Rae graduated from North Central College where she studied Theatre, English, and Gender and Women's Studies. Chicago credits include Julius Caesar (Chicago Shakespeare Theater), Richard III (Oak Park Festival Theatre), Inherit the Wind (OPFT), and Others (TOTC). Many thanks to Carin Silkaitis and TOTC for bringing these stories to life.
