Funny, moving Who’s Holiday at Theater Wit is the Malört of holiday shows!" Chicago Tribune
Remember little Cindy-Lou Who who was not more than two.
What became of that tot, after that Grinch and what-not?
Come join us for this grown-up Who's holiday fete!
Leave your kids at home (that's the safest bet.)
And try to catch up with Cindy-Lou Who's life,
She's seen some things due to her own grinch-y strife.
But nothing can dampen the holiday cheer:
Not vodka, not Rudolph, not even flat beer.
With a song in her heart, and a pipe full of weed
She'll celebrate trailer park living at need
Her wisdom dispensed with a shot and a leer.
For this is a holiday tale of such vision...
With smoking and drinking and gossip ...
...and prison.
Our most popular playwright Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, Significant Other, Admissions) returns to Chicago with his newest work, Prayer for the French Republic—fresh from its Broadway debut and Tony Award nominee for "Best Play".
A French-Jewish family finds themselves facing questions of history, safety, and home in a gripping epic spanning five generations directed by Wit's artistic director, Jeremy Wechsler. Sign up for our mailing list to be the first to find out about tickets.
A not-to-be-missed co-production with (and at!) Northlight Theatre.
