PRAISE FOR
ARCADIA
JEFF RECOMMENDED
"Jessica Hutchinson's handsome, well-paced production deftly lays out the dual time lines, with stellar work by a pitch-perfect ensemble"
- Kris Vire
TimeOut Chicago
"The well-cast ensemble feels natural together with Granata's cocksure bravura, Harman's subtle emotional internalizations and Fenderson's cheekiness standing out."
- Zach Freeman
New City
"New Leaf gracefully handles both Arcadia's protracted language and the necessarily delicate timing ... Acting is rigorous, precise, and full of great heart."
- Monica Westin
Flavorpill
"Harman and Granata are galvanizing, and their scenes blister ... every performance realized by director Jessica Hutchinson is authentic, beautifully articulated both vocally and physically."
- David Zak

PRAISE FOR
BURYING MISS AMERICA
FOUR STARS ... New Leaf's tight production of Brian Golden's new play delivers ideal American realism: seamless movement from emotional peak to trough, focus on familial dynamics, and a yearning to understand the past as turnkey to the present.
- Ryan Dolley
TimeOut Chicago
Burying Miss America is one of the best plays I've seen this season.

ARCADIA
by Tom Stoppard
directed by Jessica Hutchinson
Rediscover Tom Stoppard's classic 1993 play. Lady Thomasina Coverly, aged thirteen, quietly solves the mysteries of the universe in the midst of an English estate's worth of intrigue. Nearly two centuries later, Hannah Jarvis tries to put the pieces together and discover meaning in the debris. Three generations pursue passion and knowledge through the chaos of history.
