....this seems AWESOME.
When you come to a Theatre-Hikes performance, you are greeted by a Hike Leader.
This Hike Leader will guide you down a short walk to the first scene of the show.
You will sit for a bit & enjoy.
You will then pick up your seats/blankets/etc & walk a short bit to the next scene.
AND SO ON...
They do their best to bring you back to where you met them,
so you can jump back in your car, bike, bus, or train back to your home.
Current & Upcoming Shows:
Winner of the 2001 Jeff Award for best new work, G. Riley Mills commented that this piece was more relevant today than when he wrote it at our Radio Play production this past fall. Encompassed in the telling of the story of how streeterville was formed around Captain Streeter's ship; this play includes 2 love stories (one young and budding, one old and endeuring), a class warfare that includes actual fights between hired guns from the rich and the poor occupying land that didn't exist previously and great characterizations in this historical fiction. This play with music is as entertaining and engaging as is it informative
Prospero and his daughter are shipwrecked on an island and must make do with what they have. Prospero discovers the magic of the island in particular; 2 magic creatures, Caliban and Ariel, who he uses for his own personal gain. This story starts when another ship is crashed upon the island and we follow what happens when this crew encounters the island, it's spirits, the old man and his daughter and are challenged by the magic that Prospero commands. The Tempest has recently gained popularity being made into a movie starring Helen Mirren as Prospera and playing on the Chicago Shakespeare Stage. Our production occurs outside, in nature; where it takes place. Experience the magic that is all around us at The Morton Arboretum in this wonderful tale.
September 8 & 9, 15 & 16, 22 & 23, 29 & 30 @ 1pm- The Morton Arboretum
The Werewolf's Curse or Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
This punny play is appropriate for all ages and perfect for an afternoon as we lead up to Halloween. A vegan couple find themselves in a pickle when Harry is bitten by a werewolf cub. Now he craves rare roast beef and gets very harry at every full moon. Luckily for them, Dr. Frank Einstein and/or Madam Clara Voyant may have a cure! A vampire who drinks juice (as the child of a fruit bat), a puny strongman and others are involved as part of the traveling carneval also visiting Dr. Einstein. And, of course, there is a visit from the angry villagers in this spoof of 1930's horror movies.
October 6, 7 & 8, 13 & 14, 20 & 21, 27 & 28 @ 1 pm The Morton Arboretum
October 19 @ 7pm - The City of Blue Island
Our performance today at 4PM has been cancelled due to weather in Blue Island. We are performing September 1st and 2nd at Pullman State Historic Site, which is on it's way to becoming the 2nd National Park in the state of IL. If the weather is bad next weekend we can always perform inside the warehouse where the famous Pullman rail cars were built. Either indoor or out it's an experience not to be missed.
