Chicago Theatre Off Book Chicago Theatre Off Book: October 26, 2012 Ed.

Today, Chicago Theatre Off Book has a special STRANGETREE episode. This past summer, Oliver Sava was the lucky winner of an Off Book show dedicated to the theatre company of his choice. He chose Strangetree Group. Oliver joins us in reviewing exciting offerings from local theatre companies: “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” by Bailiwick Chicago, “Pontypool” by Strawdog Theatre, “Kinky Boots” by Broadway in Chicago and “Trainspotting USA” at Theater Wit. And then we invite Strangetree Group into the studio to talk about “Funeral Wedding: The Alvin Play.” Plus, we have an excerpt from the show as our “Got A Minute?” segment.

This October 26, 2012 episode of Chicago Theatre Off Book was partially underwritten by MARTY’S MARTINI BAR.
