We're excited to announce that Kay Martinovich will direct Marble by Marina Carr!

Kay brings a wealth of experience directing Carr's work, including the U.S. premieres of By the Bog of Cats… and The Mai for Irish Repertory of Chicago. Most recently, she directed the acclaimed production of Green Corridors at Trap Door Theatre, adding to a career that includes numerous Jeff Award-nominated and award-winning productions across the city.

In addition to her extensive directing work, Kay is a scholar of Irish theatre, an Associate Professor, and Head of the BFA Acting Program at Northern Illinois University.

We're thrilled to welcome Kay and can't wait to share her vision for this extraordinary play.
