Director Ronan Marra and company do a fine job of establishing time and place in Signal's black box space. Through pantomime and sound effects (by Anthony Ingram) they create the illusion of a casino floor. The team also places the action in a variety of settings, from dingy apartments to an all-night coffee shop, with the help of Melania Lancy's unit set and Mark Hurni's lighting design. Jenilee Houghton's costumes capture the tackiness of '70s style and casino uniforms perfectly.
Aces will play through Saturday, June 18, 2011 at the Signal Ensemble Theatre, 1802 W. Berenice Ave., Chicago, IL. For tickets, call 773-347-1350 or visit www.signalensemble.com.
