Centerstage - Chicago's Original City Guide

Recommended a "Must See" Show

Last year, the Gift Theatre celebrated a decade of life on the fringe with the first edition of "Ten," an evening of specially commissioned short plays by company members and friends. It was a warm, if inconsistent, evening, full of the love and hard work that goes into creating a real neighborhood theatre, and maintaining it across two presidencies. The follow up, which is not, thankfully, called "Eleven," indicates the possible development of a tradition, and we're all for it. Ten world premieres in January, for zero dollars? Now that's a gift.
