Announcing our next show!
Smudge by two-time Emmy Award-winning writer Rachel Axler!
First-time parents Nick and Colby have given birth to Cassie, a baby that is not at all who they believed she would be. While Nick earnestly attempts to bond with the baby, Colby is horrified, ambivalent and humorously hostile, calling the baby a “freak,” a “creature” and a “smudge.” A reality they never imagined confronts their expectations of parenthood, and their marriage begins to crumble. At times funny, at times achingly sad, Smudge is a play about the disasters we don’t plan for, and how we come to accept them.
Smudge will be directed by Allison Shoemaker, and will run May 25 – June 23, 2013 at the Athenaeum Theatre, 2936 N. Southport Ave.
The cast of Smudge features Ka-Tet company members Stevie Chaddock Lambert and Scott Allen Luke with Andrew Marchetti.

Martyrdom vs. Perfection
Are we all just seeking a little more compassion from others? A little more acceptance? A little more solidarity?
KA-TET’S MARCH MADNESS CHALLENGE!
It is incredibly simple and fun to fill out a bracket! You’ll be taking a guess at who will win each game during the 2013 men’s college basketball tournament, which is broadcast from Thursday March 21st -Monday April 8th.
Stop. Just Stop.
This simple action, “to stop”, carries enough importance that stage violence or “stage combat,” as many folks call it, is its own microcosm within the world of theatre.
