​

The Distrikt of Lake Michigun:

A Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Ridiculous Tragedy (and also completely factual and also true).

 

Written by ensemble member Stephanie Murphy.

Directed by ensemble member Seth Wilson.

​

Shortly after the Great Fire, “Captain” George Streeter and his wife Ma are building a utopian community on a sandbar in Lake Michigan right outside the city limits of Chicago. Unfortunately, his ex-wife Minnie is tagging along to set the record straight. Combining elements of Greek tragedy, vaudeville, farce, history play, and Brechtian lehrstücke, this is the outrageous (mostly) true story of how Chicago’s most expensive neighborhood came into existence.

More information will be available soon. February and March 2025.
