About Redtwist Theatre
Redtwist Theatre, formerly Actors Workshop Theatre, embarked upon its first
production as an itinerant company in 1994 with Simon Gray’s Otherwise Engaged.
AWT incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation in May 2001. It produced
five more plays before moving to its current home in the vibrant Bryn Mawr
Historic District of the Edgewater neighborhood in Chicago in the fall of 2002.
Redtwist’s first show in Edgewater, Praying Small, opened in September 2003. It
was designated as a Critic’s Choice by the Chicago Reader and was extended two
times by popular demand. Michael Colucci, the founder of Redtwist Theatre, is
the Artistic Director. His producing partner and wife, Jan Ellen Graves, is the
Managing Director. In addition to acting, she directed the critically-acclaimed
The American Clock by Arthur Miller and the Jeff-recommended plays Geezers
and Aura, by company member, Tommy Lee Johnston. Michael’s direction of
All My Sons, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Three Hotels, That Face, and Broken Glass
was also critically-acclaimed and Jeff-recommended. During Redtwist’s time at
the Bryn Mawr location, its productions have received 43 Jeff nominations and
won 9 Non-Equity Jeff Awards including one for Best Production for Man from
Nebraska in 2011. As of March 1, 2008, AWT’s corporate name officially changed
to Redtwist Theatre. Please visit www.redtwist.org for current information

Welcome to Redtwist!
T
his is our 11th full season, featuring the theme
of Rising from the Ashes, with an eclectic mix of
provocative plays that address the concept of emerging
from a watershed experience. This season covers a
wide swath of territory, from overwhelming national tragedies
like 9/11 (Another Bone, a world-premiere by Cathy Earnest) and
the Great Depression (The American Clock, Arthur Miller’s buried
treasure) to highly personal crises such as serious illness (I And You
by Lauren Gunderson, the 2014 ATCA/Steinberg-winner for Best New
Play) and a cataclysmic career meltdown at the peak of fame (Red by
John Logan, the 2010 Tony-winner for Best Play). Each of these great
plays will be staged right in this storefront…in its own unique way.
In addition, Redtwist has invited some exciting young companies to
co-produce provocative new plays in our GC series, which stands for
Guest Company. The final GC production of the season is The Summer
of Daisy Fay from New American Folk Theatre (opens July 11).
And mark your calendars for our annual Redtwist Rave on
Wednesday, August 5 from 5:30-8:30pm. It’s a free, fun
event where friends of Redtwist can mingle with other Redtwisters,
participate in scenes with company members and be the first to meet
our newest company members and learn about the shows in our our
2015-2016 season. There will be early bird pricing on our season Flex
Tix, along with food and drinks to celebrate another great year. We
look forward to seeing you at the Rave.
The Chicago storefront theatre experience is unique and has become
an iconic brand worldwide. There are small theatres in every corner
of the globe, but there is nothing quite like what has happened here—
and continues to happen every night—for nearly half a century, and
it is this: a relentless stream of exciting young companies producing
powerful plays with terrific actors in very intimate spaces for over
four decades…non-stop. On any evening year-round, you can choose
from among five or ten dazzling storefront experiences. As we
embark upon our second decade in this Bryn Mawr Avenue storefront,
Redtwist is proud to continue this unique tradition of Chicago theatre.
We didn’t blaze the trail, but we intend to keep it hot. In addition to
placing you right on top of the action in a great play, we purposely
aim to provide a clean, hospitable space, from our lobby to our
restrooms to the theatre itself, as well as large, comfy chairs. And so,
while Redtwist is small, we hope your experience here is extra-large.
Thanks for coming to Redtwist!
Michael Colucci, Artistic Director
