Don’t miss this special conversation from our friends at Remy Bumppo Theatre Company featuring A Red Orchid Founder & Ensemble Member Guy Van Swearingen!

A night of discovery, conversation, and envisioning, Explore the In Between excavates the history, heart, and value of midsized theatres in Chicago.

This one-night-only event, Monday, Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. at Theater Wit, moderated by Mark Larson, Chicago theatre historian and author, and Matt Randle-Bent, Associate Director of the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, brings together Chicago theatre voices from four storied companies: Remy Bumppo, A Red Orchid, Teatro Vista, and About Face to discuss how midsized theatres have shaped our city’s cultural ecosystem and what role might they play in what is to come.
