Steppenwolf Theatre Company Blog – Chicago Theater, World-Class Ensemble

As the cast of The Unmentionables spends their last day in the rehearsal hall before moving over to the theatre, the technical crews for that show are busy onstage having just completed running a forty-minute rain sequence. Actual rain - onstage. Even as the exciting preparations for The Unmentionables move forward, this weekend three Steppenwolf productions will have their final performance. Sunday will mark the closing of The Sunset Limited in our Garage Theatre, Red Light Winter at the Barrow Street Theatre in New York City, and Love-Lies-Bleeding at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Both Red Light Winter and Love-Lies-Bleeding were produced here in Chicago before moving on to their out of town runs. So as we gear up for our conversations about The Unmentionables – and given the way Bruce Norris writes plays, they should be exciting – I offer any of our blog readers out there to comment on any the three closing productions. Did any of our readers see the same production in two cities? Any final thoughts? Memories? Highlights?
