Feet of Clay, a new play by Stephen Louis Grush

Produced by LASTmatch Theatre Company, which was founded by Jennifer Alexander and Annie Kehoe.

Set near an army base in a rural town just outside of New Orleans, Feet of Clay is a present-day response to Chekhov’s classic Three Sisters that explores the relationships of newly-orphaned siblings struggling to find happiness within their obligatory roles. The play also examines the lasting effects of war on both the soldiers who fought and the loved ones to whom they return.

Feet of Clay is a new play written by Stephen Louis Grush, Founding Artistic Director of XIII Pocket, and who is currently on stage in Sex with Strangers at Steppenwolf and recently appeared in Goodman Theatre’s The Seagull. The production is directed by David Perez, Founding Artistic Director of Pavement Group, who garnered rave reviews in Steppenwolf’s Garage Rep last year with his production of punkplay, which ranked #3 on the Time Out list.

FEATURING: Jennifer Alexander, Craig Cunningham, Paul Dunckel, Brandon Ford, Larry Garner, Chris Hart, Leah Karpel, Annie Kehoe, Kimberly Logan

Waltzing Mechanics presents
El Stories
by Adapted from original interviews by Thomas Murray
directed by Thomas Murray

Anyone who has spent some amount of time riding Chicago’s trains and buses has collected stories from their travels. The EL, after all, is a public square – a place where Chicagoans from all backgrounds come together. Using the words of actual Chicagoans’ transit adventures over the course of a dramatized train ride, the Waltzing Mechanics seek to reflect how we move as a community through this dynamic city.

Featuring Bryan Campbell, Nick Chandler, Zack Florent, Lance Hill, Keely Leonard, Eric Loughlin, Adrienne Matzen, Eleni Pappageorge, Shariba Rivers, and Margaret Scrantom. Stage managed by Tina Frey.
