BLIZZARD '67

“Imagine the snow begins to fall and doesn’t stop.” Rick Kogan’s fantastic two page spread on BLIZZARD ’67 in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune

JEFF RECOMMENDED! More info on Joseph Jefferson Awards here.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! “a powerful, claustrophobic drama about four white middle-aged company men who carpool to work every day in the late 1960s. Recalling the work of Paddy Chayefsky and Rod Serling, Steinhagen builds his story slowly and deftly reveals each man’s foibles… Ann Filmer’s direction is as nuanced and nicely paced as the script, as are all of the performances in this solid ensemble piece.” – Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader

Recommended! “Using four chairs, four talented actors and copious imagination, director Ann Filmer and her stellar design crew transform a tiny basement space into a series of convincing environments. Blizzard ’67 succeeds brilliantly as existential parable.” – Hugh Iglash, New City

“The first production of the 10th season at 16th Street Theater in Berwyn plunges the audience into an intense, powerful morality play.” – Doug Deuchler, Oak Park’s Wednesday Journal

Highly Recommended “an expertly crafted character study in a setting familiar to every Chicagoan of a certain age, but is easily accessible to those whom the blizzard long predates… If you don’t already know about the 16th Street Theater in Berwyn, now’s a great time to check it out.” – Jacob Davis, Buzznews Chicago

Highly Recommended! “a truly joyful experience at the theater.” – Alan Bresloff, Around the Town Chicago
