Roscoe Village Residents Featured in “Coronation”
From the Winner of 8 2024 Jeff Awards, it's a Political Satire from Refracted Theatre Company
Roscoe Village’s Hannah Andruss, Becca Venable and Tristan Odenkirk are all featured in Refracted Theatre Company’s production of Coronation, written by Laura Winters and directed by Tova Wolff, October 11 - November 16, in the Bookspan Theatre at The Den Theatre, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. Refracted Theatre was the recipient of eight Jeff Awards for its most recent production Tambo & Bones and returns to the stage with “Coronation.” Tristan Odenkirk will take on various roles as understudy for “Actor #4.” Becca Venable and Hannah Andruss’ designs will be featured in the production. Venable is scenic designer, while Andruss is in charge of wigs, hair and makeup.
After another female candidate loses the 2044 presidential election, three passionate but disillusioned women dream up a new branch of government - a monarchy to be run by none other than the Queen of America. This three-act femme-futurist, political satire features a gas mask fashion show, a ball gown made out of blue jeans and a walking, talking, plotting Siri.
The performance schedule is Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets start at $31 and are on sale now at RefractedCo.com.
