Next Theatre Company (Evanston, IL)
The Steins are having an identity crisis: Mom has been "born again" and spends all day chatting with Jesus in the kitchen; Dad hasn't gotten out of his pajamas in weeks and is starting to smell; and 16 year old Rachel is coping by going "goth." Who will save this family? Jesus? Stephen Hawking? Or Rachel's awkward new classmate who shows up at their door in his Elvis jumpsuit?

Now at the Apollo Theater after a sold-out limited engagement, the new musical Million Dollar Quartet recaptures the memorable December 4, 1956 night when legends Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins met in Memphis for an impromptu jam session. The show is loaded with rock 'n' roll hits such as "Blue Suede Shoes," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire." Learn More

The 4 of us enjoyed the show. Clever dialogue and it was well acted. Lots of laughs.
We attended 3 plays this week & this was by far the best. It is a really enjoyable comedy & the actors are excellent. Enjoy!

The Next Theatre has 125 comfortable seats, arranged proscenium-style facing the stage, which is about three feet above floor-level in row A. No seat is farther than 12 rows from the stage; there are no obstructed views; and the theater is fully-accessible to those in wheelchairs. The theater does not currently provide assisted listening devices.
To everyone’s surprise, the invasion of his big heart and blind optimism might be their best hope for a new beginning.
End Days is both “enormously funny, warm and uplifting” (CurtainUp) and also a thoughtful examination of faith, renewal, and the needs of ordinary people.
Next Theatre Company produces socially provocative, artistically adventurous work. It is their vision to become a national destination for audiences and artists who share their vision that theatre can promote awareness and provoke change with more power than any other medium of expression. Their 167-seat space has been home to almost a hundred productions, serving nearly a quarter of a million theatergoers and winning Jeff Awards in nearly every category. The theater's adventurous spirit and great conviction prompted Richard Christiansen of the Chicago Tribune to announce that The Next is "a resounding reaffirmation of what faith, dedication and talent can accomplish. It is what distinguished Chicago theatre in its early stages more than a quarter century ago, and it is what continues to make Chicago theater so exciting. How fortunate we are to have theaters such as The Next in our midst." They serve over 10,000 patrons each year, including students, elderly, and everyone in between. Their audience includes local Evanstonians as well as Chicago and North Shore residents, and they have come to expect artistic excellence in the pursuit of culturally progressive work. As Dan Zeff of Copley News observed earlier this year, the Next is quickly becoming "the venue of the edgiest theater in the area."
