Brick Wall paints the story of two brothers married to two sisters all living in the same downtown apartment building in
contemporary Chicago. When mid-level manager, Jason Zachman, realizes he doesn’t have the heart to lay off his employees, he decides to move into a stairwell and spend all his time drawing pictures he sees in the bricks. Has he lost his mind or is he a Zen master of ethical dreaming in a time when there is great stress on the larger American dream? Take a journey down the stairwell with Jason, his devoted wife Cora, his frustrated stockbroker brother Murray, and Murray’s wife Sara, a government spokeswoman for economic optimism. Can true love survive in a stairwell?
Cast: Pete Blatchford, Natalie Carlascio, Austin Cornett, Danny Glenn, Hannah Green, Jaclyn Jensen, Karla Rennhofer

A delightful trio of one-act gems. Only You Can Think That visits a philosophical café where the quirky proprietor is intrigued by a frustrated consultant who turns people’s small problems into big ones to put their lives into perspective. That is That, a play within a play, takes comedy to hyperbolic proportions as the characters negotiate questions of status, power, and control, on two levels of reality at once. Fragments from the Permanent Collection, follows a lonely astronomer who approaches a manuscript typist on the majestic central staircase of the Art Institute of Chicago as the arc of a relationship plays out in miniature in a series of intertwining scenes.
Cast: Regina Barry, Baird Brutscher, Austin Cornett, and Marla Seidell
