Chicago, IL -
Executive Director Kevin Mayes announced today that after a critically-acclaimed, twice extended run, Bailiwick Chicago's hit production of Joe DiPietro's F**CKING MEN will play its final performance on Sunday, August 29 at 7pm at Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont.
The play observes the sex lives of the modern urban gay American male. Conceived as a noir-riff on Arthur Schnitzler's 19th century play, LA RONDE, the play examines ten men from all walks of life as they negotiate the before and after of lust, love, betrayal and the pursuit of sex and emotional connection. Funny, poignant, sometimes dramatic, always provocative and sexy, the show has been critically acclaimed by Chicago critics. Additional information about the show can be found at www.FMenChicago.com.
Joe DiPietro is the author of I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE! and ALL SHOOK UP. His most recent musical, MEMPHIS, was nominated for eight Tony awards, won three, and also received the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical.
Director Tom Mullen was the director of the Jeff-Award winning musical TOMORROW MORNING, the acclaimed production of URINETOWN at Chicago's Mercury Theater, and DiPietro's I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT NOW CHANGE for Noble Fool Theatricals.
The cast includes Thad Anzur, Karmann Bajuyo, Christian Kain Blackburn, Armand Fields, Beau Forbes, Cameron Harms, Cameron Johnson, Ryan Lanning, Arthur Luis Soría, and Norman Woodel. Understudies are Tom Chiola, Michael Harnichar, Aaron Holland, and Jake Szczepaniak.
The design team includes John Rotonda (Set), Jared B. Moore (Lights), Bill Morey (Costumes), Mike Dunbar (Sound), and Lee Strausberg (Props), with original music by composer Laurence Mark Wythe. Christopher Pazdernik assistant directs, with stage management by Mitch Thomas, and casting by Lili-Anne Brown.
Remaining performances are Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., and Sundays at 7 p.m. General admission tickets are $25. Special Reserved seating is available for $30.
