City Lit Theater

City Lit’s 42nd season kicks off in October. Unlike previous years, this season will include three productions instead of four in order to get the company back on a more typical schedule following pandemic-related delays.

“The Mark of Kane” (Oct. 21 - Dec. 4, City Lit Theatre at 1020 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.): This world premiere is about two friends who created the comic book character Batman in 1939 and the different trajectories their lives take. This is the first play in Mark Pracht’s “The Four-Color Trilogy.”

“The Birthday Party” (Jan. 13, 2023 - Feb. 26, 2023, at City Lit Theatre, 1020 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.): In Harold Pinter’s dark comedy, Stanley has lived in Meg’s boardinghouse for a year. He’s nervous about the arrival of two new boarders, and Meg is throwing him a party.

“Aztec Human Sacrifice” (May 5, 2023 - June 18, 2023, at City Lit Theatre, 1020 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.): The season ends with the world premiere of this musical. The evening before the start of the Aztec empire’s new millennium, the Chosen One has run off with the Emperor’s daughter, which could lead to the end of the world.

“We cannot express enough gratitude for our phenomenal supporters and loyal audiences whom we have been so honored to move, entertain and inspire,” AstonRep founder and ensemble member Robert Tobin said in the announcement. “Our work would obviously be nothing without them. We are grateful to celebrate and reflect on a truly great run.”

“Buried Child” (Oct. 21 - Nov. 19 at The Edge Theater, 5451 N. Broadway): This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Sam Shepard is about a family reunion no one anticipated and the disintegration of the American Dream.

The 15th Annual Writer’s Series (Feb. 4, 2023): This festival, which will have virtual performances, gives Chicago-based and national playwrights a chance to workshop almost-finished plays and other works that are still in development.
