The 2050 Project
Theater Un-Speak-Able's 2050 Project is a two-show single performance that crashes, swoops and zips into Evanston for one exciting weekend, providing a double dose of super-powered, locomotive action and futuristic suspense. On the stage first, Superman 2050, named "Top Fringe Theater Production of 2011" by the Chicago Tribune's Nina Metz, showcases seven fearless actors working atop a 3 foot by 7 foot platform, teetering at their very own peril! Then board the high-speed train of the future, the Toronto Zephyr, for Murder on the Midwest Express; zip around the scene of a crime with a cast of zany characters who will keep you guessing "who done it" until the very end of the line. Appropriate for ages 10 and up.
10/5 - 10/7:
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, Sunday at 3 PM
Francis the Holy Jester
A new play by Dario Fo, is a one-man play that relies solely on the imagination of the audience and the considerable skill of Mario Pirovano, who portrays a multitude of characters from 13th century Italy, from Pope through Peasant, and St. Francis himself, to comedic and poignant ends. Stripped of props, scenery and special effects, the show exists only in the relationship between the audience and the performer, making the almost mythological Francis tangible, visceral and relatable.
This special performance is sponsored by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.
