- Our Price:
- $14.25
The City Lit Theater presents Comrades Mine: Emma Edmonds of the Union Army as a part of their Civil War Sesquicentennial Project. Chicago playwright Maureen Gallagher (Martin Furey's Shot) finds plenty of material in the astonishing true story of (Sarah) Emma Edmonds, the Canadian-born young woman who disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the Union Army. Serving as a courier and a spy, Edmonds was a master of deception (at one point she was disguised as a man disguised as a woman) as well as a daring soldier. As she worked deep behind enemy lines, she shouldered not only the normal anxieties of being captured, but also the additional stress of keeping her "true identity" a secret. Head to the City Lit Theater for this true story of secrecy and heroics during the Civil War. Learn More

Written on May 05 2009We have been very impressed with all productions at City Lit Theater. It is hard to believe they will be celebrating their 30th anniversary and we have just discovered them.

About the Ticket Supplier: City Lit Theater Company
City Lit was founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1980 by Arnold Aprill, David Dillon, and Lorell Wyatt. At the time it was the only theatre in the nation devoted to stage adaptations of literary material, a form that has since become quite popular. Over 30 seasons, City Lit has explored fiction, non-fiction, poetry, biography, essays, and drama in performance, and presented a wide array of voices, from classic writers such as Henry James, Edith Wharton, Oliver Goldsmith, Mark Twain, Colette, and P. G. Wodehouse to such contemporary writers as Alice Walker, W.P. Kinsella, Lynda Barry, Raymond Carver, Edward Albee and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. As an Illinois not-for-profit corporation and a 501(c)3 federal tax-exempt organization, it keeps its ticket prices below the actual cost of operation and production, and depends on the support of those who share its belief in the beauty and power of the spoken written word.
