It’s a clever, touching play celebrating women so the play ended up a bit of a hybrid between written by George Brant, a Park Ridge native and alumnus the history of the two theatres. of Northwestern University. He has triangulated a theatrical celebration, a paean to women, and an ode to What is your connection to Chicago’s North inclusivity, and casts them against the backdrop of Evanston, Illinois shore? during the Second World War. Well, I actually lived in the area for some time. I grew up in Park Ridge, attended Northwestern As you know, in Shakespeare’s time, plays were performed with men in University and then wrote and acted in Chicago all of the roles, male or female. Brant has flipped this tradition around, for about ten years after that. And it will always be casting women in all of the roles out of necessity during the War.

FROM DAVID CROMER, THE ABOUT NORTHLIGHT THEATRE Northlight distinguishes itself in the landscape of Chicago theatre through TONY-WINNING DIRECTOR its compelling and compassionate work onstage and innovative and impactful work offstage, including dynamic education and community OF BROADWAY’S THE BAND’S VISIT! engagement programs. Northlight’s story begins in 1974, when Gregory Kandel, Mike Nussbaum, and Frank Galati established the Evanston Theatre Company in the Kingsley Elementary School Theater on Green Bay Road in Evanston. The company evolved and expanded in the two decades that followed, moving between several different locations in the North Shore area and adopting the name Northlight Theatre.

Northlight settled into its current home at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie in 1997. From then on, Northlight began a new era of growth, quickly developing into one of the largest nonprofit theatres in the Chicagoland area led by Artistic Director BJ Jones, who took over in 1998. In 2007, he was joined by Executive Director Timothy J. Evans. Under their joint leadership, Northlight has established itself as a regional magnet for critical and professional acclaim and a home for talent of the highest quality.

Today, Northlight’s programming includes:

MAINSTAGE Northlight produces five mainstage productions per season, with a spectrum of work ranging from timely world premieres to refreshed classics.

NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT By the end of the 2018-19 season, Northlight will have brought over 40 world-premiere plays to life and is the recipient of ten Edgerton Foundation for New Play Awards.

EDUCATION Our comprehensive arts education program serves over 3500 students per year through workshops, low-cost performance access, and in-school residencies ranging from adaptations of familiar stories to student-devised theatre for social change.

AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT A variety of free audience events such as Backstage with BJ, community panels, and post-show discussions add depth and context to each production and offer a platform for civil discourse.
