Join New Leaf at Theatre Seven of Chicago this Saturday
We are lucky to live in a community where we're friends with some really exciting artists - and where our friends support our work AND make theatre we're excited to see. During Curse of the Starving Class, the cool kids from Theatre Seven of Chicago came and had a playdate with us.

Wheels in Motion.
" The wheels are in motion. There's nothing you can do to turn it back. The only thing you can do is cooperate. To play ball. To become part of us." - Taylor Most of the New Leaf and Curse of the Starving Class team met up recently at one of our favorite haunts for a fantastic first read through together. We gathered ourselves around some good food and a few drinks and listened to these incredible actors breathe life into the dangerously beautiful words of Sam Shepard. Rehearsals start on March 2nd and we can't wait to roll up our sleeves and dig. Special thanks ...
