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

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share with you all the joy and honor it has been to be apart of the Steppenwolf Visiting Company Initiative. As many of you already know Elliot, A Soldier’s Fugue opened last week at the Garage. I play the role of Pops, Elliot’s Dad. This a Co-Pro between Rivendell Theatre Ensemble and Teatro Vista. I’m proud to be a member of TV and proud to be part of a city that has nurtured and supported ensemble theatre companies. It’s no wonder why I feel so at home here. The Steppenwolf Production staff and Artistic staff have been extremely involved in supporting our ensembles. It has also been rewarding and a wonderful experience working with Rivendell. We have learned a lot about how we produce, and how we approach work artistically. No two ensembles are the same, but when they come together to tell such a unique and powerful story such as Elliot. Look out!

Elliot addresses war from a human perspective, it does not justify or glorify it. It creates an atmosphere for discourse about how war is experienced by those who make the ultimate sacrifice and the effect that has on their loved ones. I hope you will take the opportunity to see this production. Check us out!

Until next time,

Eddie Torres
