Review: “Road Signs” at A Red Orchid Theatre is Jaw-Dropping!
By
Paul Lisnek, “Behind the Curtain,” WGNRadio.com
****“Road Signs” is jaw-dropping amazement! Created by Jon Tai and Alex Gruhin, and starring Tai is described as a magic show. And I suppose it is….but that moniker does not do the production justice. It’s magic married to theater, with all the wonder, drama, intensity and surprise that is offered by theater’s best. Hosted by A Red Orchid Theater at 1531 N Wells in Old Town, this show is presented in an intimate space that will knock your socks off!
There is a theme that runs through the show, a desire to vanish from life as we know it to pursue any adventure we seek. But along the one-hour ride down this road, audience members are involved (willingly) and become part of Tai’s story as we uncover our own. In the end, like a fine theatrical production, there is a message…one that you will walk out of the theater with as you shake your head in amazement for the experience you’ve just had.
The production runs through August 31st and tickets can be purchased at: www.aredorchidtheatre.org.
Performance schedule is as follows:
Mondays 7:00pm
Show Type: Performance Art
Box Office: 312-943-8722
