May 06--Sideshow Theatre Company's new season will comprise three dramas, a spokesman for the company said on Wednesday. They'll all be performed at the Victory Gardens Richard Christiansen Theater, where Sideshow continues its residency.
"No More Sad Things" (Nov. 15-Dec. 20) by Hansol Jung will begin the trio. Jung's play, to be directed by Elly Green, is an expressionist work including such fanciful elements as frogs' dreams and talkative falling stars.
A new play by David Jacobi called "Mai Dang Lao" (March 6-April 10) is set in motion by a crime committed in a fast food restaurant. Marti Lyons will direct Jacobi's work.
The season ends on "Caught" (May 29-July 3, 2016), written by Christopher Chen and directed by Seth Bockley. In Chen's play, a Chinese artist-activist writes an account of being imprisoned by the government, but questions arise to what is factual and what is fiction. The production will feature visual and performance artists.
Meanwhile, in the coming summer, Sideshow will reprise its production of "Stupid F---ing Bird" downstairs in Victory Gardens' Zacek-McVay Theater, July 23 through August 30.
Victory Gardens Theater is located at 2433 N. Lincoln Ave.
