Dear Friends and the Chicago Theatre Community,
Based upon the recent guidance from the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago, Facility Theatre will be postponing our production of “Nina or About The Fragility of Stuffed Seagulls”.
It breaks our hearts to alter the process of this beautiful play, which was originally scheduled to open in April. However, we hope to find a way to explore the work and share it with you at a later date.
The health and safety of our artists and community is of the utmost importance. We will follow the lead of our city, state, and federal officials and we’ll keep in contact through email and social media.
Our dream is to create theatre in our new home in Humboldt Park.
Facility Theatre will once again be a home for artists and community.
Together we will stay strong by continuing to hold this dream in our hearts.
Until then be safe, be well, and stay the F home.
We love you! Long Live The Cog!
Facility Theatre
APRIL 26–May 24, 2020
NINA, Or: About the fragility of stuffed seagulls
By Matei Visniec
Translated from French by Jeremy Laurence
Directed by Zeljko Djukic
Featuring Company Member Maria Stephens
In Nina, Or: About the fragility of stuffed seagulls, two writers and an actress are stuck in the country house during blizzard as the revolution explodes on the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Will they survive? Will they join the Bolsheviks? Will they write and act ever again? The story of love and a never-ending turmoil of history is built as an extension of Chekhov's Seagull, under the premise that Treplev lived and witnessed the catastrophic changes of the 1917 February Revolution. It is an unexpected tribute to Chekhov, and above all a wonderful comedy.
