- SOLD OUT
It's the 45th anniversary of the infamous storm that shut down Chicago for five days, and world premiere play Blizzard '67 captures the chilling intensity of that time. Set in the glamorous, fast-paced Loop of the late '60s, the story follows four high-power businessmen whose daily cutthroat competition takes a backseat to a struggle for survival when they find themselves trapped in the most fearsome blizzard Chicago has ever known. If they don't overcome their corporate rivalries and come together as a team, they'll be left out in the cold. Blizzard '67 is written by resident playwright Jon Steinhagen, winner of the 2009 Julie Harris Playwriting Award. Learn More

This was a very good show. It was realistic, entertaining and the actors/actresses were very good. You never felt like you were watching a play; rather, we felt like we were watching an actual drama unfold. I went with my husband, sister and a male cousin. All of us were over 40. There was quite a bit of profanity but, if the play is to be realistic, it would have such language in it, unfortunately. Notwithstanding, a very good play.Written on Jul 06 2009
