The Chicago Reader have Macbeth By The Sea and other witch-related plays a plug. Thanks Kerry Reid!

The Greatest Theatrical Event...EVER! is still a thing! We meet online every week and have been taking advantage of sheltering by developing new material. For those of you who have seen it, we find out more about Trey's efforts to woo Elaine, The Grand Carlysle expands to incude a Theater of the Absurd festival, and Fernando the Talking Ferret now sings and dances. Whee!

We are waist deep in uncertain times. Our remount is on hold and we'll update you as soon as we know anything. Until then, please consider making a donation to Otherworld Theatre.

Our goal has always been to produce live science-fiction stories, not necessarily LIVE those stories. As our day-to-day becomes worryingly close to science-fiction literature it is hard to stay optimistic. But optimistic we are! Along with reducing our audience capacity and cleaning A LOT, we are also working on ways to make our performances available digitally. While some businesses can afford to shut down for extended periods of time, ourselves and other small organizations simply cannot.

Please consider making a donation to us and any other small organizations or artists which you know are struggling. Donations won't only help us get through the impending economic downswing due to reduced capacities, lower audiences, cancelled events and potential closure but also help us get digital content online as soon as possible.
