International Voices Project: "The Room at the Top of the Stairs" March 14, 2013

Presented in collaboration with each country’s consulate general and/or cultural institution, the International Voices Project will celebrate the voices of international playwrights with eight premiere concert-style readings. Each play is performed by a professional cast with stage directions read aloud to allow audience members’ imaginations to create the world of the play. After each reading, there will be a post-performance discussion with the cast and audience, followed by a reception hosted by the country’s represented cultural partner.

Thursday, March 14 will be the Midwest premiere of acclaimed Canadian playwright Carol Frechette’s "The Room at the Top of the Stairs", directed by Elizabeth Carlin Metz. It is being presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Canada in Chicago, The Quebec Government Office in Chicago, The Alliance Française de Chicago and Vitalist Theatre.
