Humboldt Park Resident Featured as Understudy in Remy Bumppo’s “Mud Row” at Theater Wit

Humboldt Park resident, Maureen Azzun, is featured in Remy Bumppo Theatre Company’s first production in its 2026 - 2027 season, Mud Row, written by Dominique Morisseau and directed by Malkia Stampley, October 15 - November 15, at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave. Azzun is the understudy for “Toshi.”

Set in the historically Black neighborhood of Mud Row in West Chester, Pennsylvania, two generations of sisters protect and defy the legacy of their foremothers in this surprisingly funny, thrilling and ultimately hopeful play from Tony Nominee and MacArthur “Genius” Grant Recipient Dominique Morisseau. Mud Row deftly shifts between past and present exploring themes of identity, belonging and the complexities of heritage through the lives of several Black women and men, each with their own struggles and aspirations.

Regular performances are Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Subscriptions and single tickets are on sale now at RemyBumppo.org.
