The Route 66 Theatre Company was introduced today as the newest member of Chicago's theatre community. Why Route 66, you ask? Because its mission is to,"cultivate dynamic, relevant, and provocative stories that bridge the 2,448 miles of cultural divide" by producing live theatre in Chicago and Los Angeles.
Its first production will be the Chicago premiere of John Kolvenbach's "On An Average Day," co-produced by VS. Theatre Company of Los Angeles, previewing on July 30th and opening on August 2. The LA Times described the play as: "richly humanistic play about two brothers, one schizophrenic, one "normal," but both tortured by the after effects of their emotionally isolated childhoods."
The play premiered in London in 2002 and starred Woody Harrelson and Kyle MaLachlan. The Chicago production will star Jeff-Award winning Chicago actor, Stef Tovar, and Los Angeles actor Johnny Clark. Tovar is also the artistic director of the Route 66 Theatre Company.
