The Side Project

Written and Performed by Savanna Rae
Directed by Carin Silkaitis
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
