It's time for a celebration. Don't let us drink alone!
We spend a lot of time head down, working, enduring through the days. Once in a while something comes along worth celebrating. I am really looking forward to March 26th, the Premiere Night for The Good Harvest. All the people who’ve supported Polarity truly have something to celebrate that night. Your support, whether though good wishes, work, donations or attending our past shows or events, has made this culmination possible. You have helped create the environment that enabled Polarity to bring together the ensemble of actors, directors, designers, dramaturgs, volunteers and workers of every ilk who have collaborated with playwright Lisa Rosenthal to perfect her script and bring it live to our stage for its world premiere.
The Good Harvest came through many revisions in the Dionysos Cup process and many more after it was chosen by the company for a full production. I am very proud of that process, and I’m delighted to have led the production with such talented actors and designers. I hope to share the moment of triumph with you, when we raise a glass after the show on March 26th.
Ann Keen is organizing the party for post-show Premiere Night. We’ll have food from the Birchwood Kitchen, Chicago, and Noodles and Company in Evanston, as well as beer and wine and other beverages. And we’ll have the great joy of standing together at the launch of a significant new play onto the Chicago theatre scene. It’s a great pleasure to stand together at moments like that. I hope you can join us. I look forward to being there with you.
My very best,
Richard Engling, Artistic Director
