Award-winning writer/director Amanda Dehnert’s new musical The Verona Project is an electric hybrid of theatre and live concert infused with original indie-folk-rock music. A modern fable inspired by Shakespeare’s first comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona, the show takes an honest look at surviving love, loss and the road to adulthood. Seen through the eyes of a group of young musicians, The Verona Project explores the journeys we all take and the people we eventually become.

A quirky, colorful play written by comedy masters Kaufman and Hart, You Can’t Take It With You follows the happily dysfunctional and perfectly mad Sycamorefamily. When Tony Kirby, Alice Sycamore’s handsome fiancé, and his straight-laced, overly-conservative parents come to the Sycamore household for dinner on the wrong night, the house immediately explodes with zany mayhem and chaotic hilarity. Directed by Jeff Award-winner William Brown, this endearingly eccentric play reminds us that money isn’t everything.

Based on the best-selling novel by noted author and activist Barbara Ehrenreich, Nickel and Dimed is a piercing examination of the effects of bottom-line and welfare reform on working-class America. Following the character of Ehrenreich as she travels across America to document the struggles of low-wage workers, she takes on jobs as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aid and store clerk. Her accounts of the realities of minimum wage survival earned her praise from the New York Times as “our premier reporter of the underside of capitalism.”

Based on the novel 7 ½ Cents by Richard Bissell, with a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, and directed by Marriott Theatre artistic associate Peter Sullivan, The Pajama Game centers around the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory where the workers’ demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise is being ignored. In the midst of a potential strike, Babe, the leader of the Union Grievance Committee, and Sid, the handsome new factory superintendent fall in love. Can Babe and Sid set aside their differences in order to make their relationship work, or will being on opposite sides of the fence lead to their demise?

Occupy Dance 2013 reveals the power of a community coming together to overcome obstacles and celebrate common goals. Through dance and text, choreographers take on the complex issue of poverty. Who is impoverished and what does that mean? How does poverty affect individuals and how does it affect the community at large? What fantasies and myths have our fears of poverty produced? Under the artistic direction of award-winning Northwestern University dance faculty Annie Beserra, Occupy Dance 2013 explores these timely topics through various dance forms including dance theatre, contact improvisation, Jump Rhythm Jazz and hip hop.

Based on real interviews conducted by playwrights Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen, The Exonerated follows six former Death Row prisoners whose convictions were reversed. From their trials to their incarcerations to their eventual releases, this award-winning play uses the words of these innocent men and women as they share the stories of everything and everyone that they lost when they were wrongly convicted, as well as the lives they are working to rebuild. The inaugural collaboration between TIC and Next Theatre Company, The Exonerated will be staged at TIC in partnership with The Center on Wrongful Convictions and will feature a cast of professional and student artists working together on this exploration of the criminal justice system.

How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes invites a different audience at every show to explore the question: how do you attack the problem of poverty in America? Over the course of 90 minutes, the audience will be witness, investigator and, ultimately, agent of choice. The choice — how to spend $1,000 in cash from ticket sales, which will sit onstage, waiting to be put to use. The show is anexperiment in dialogue, in collective decision-making, in shared responsibility and in the potential (real or imagined) for art to help us make our world a better place. Spectacularly eclectic in form, at times epically presentational and at times playfully participatory, often delightful and occasionally uncomfortable, How To End Poverty will engage student and Chicago-area audiences alongside community experts. Come spend with us.

Welcome to Wayside School, where nothing is normal. Not only did the builder accidentally put each classroom on top of the other, but the students of the 30th floor have a problem: their teacher, Mrs. Gorf can turn children into apples! Take a zany journey through the stairways of Wayside School as the students of the 30th floor try their best to navigate the temptation of pigtails, the non-existent 19th floor, a wayward cow and zillions of other challenges – including accepting one another for who they are.

THE LAST OF THE HAUSSMANSA new play by Stephen Beresford | Directed by Howard Davies Anarchic, feisty but growing old, high society drop-out Judy Haussman remains in spirit with the Ashrams of the 1960s while holding court in her dilapidated Art Deco house on the Devon coast. After an operation, she’s joined by her wayward offspring, a sharp-eyed granddaughter, the local doctor and a troubled teenager who makes use of the family’s crumbling swimming pool.

TIMON OF ATHENSBy William Shakespeare | Directed by Nicholas Hytner

Simon Russell Beale (London Assurance, Collaborators) takes the title role in Shakespeare’s strange fable of consumption, debt and ruin, written in collaboration with Thomas Middleton. Wealthy friend to the rich and powerful, patron of the arts, ostentatious host, Timon of Athens is surrounded by free-loaders and sycophants. Vastly outspending his resources, he calls upon his associates for help, who in turn hang him out to dry. After a final, vengeful banquet, Timon pours curses on Athens from his literal and emotional wasteland.
