Artistic Director Marti Lyons and Remy Bumppo Theatre Company, currently presenting the world premiere of Jessica Dickey’s “Galileo’s Daughter” through May 14, is pleased to announce its 2023 - 2024 season. The new season includes “Blues for an Alabama Sky” by Pearl Cleage, September 14 - October 15, directed by Mikael Burke and “Love Song” by John Kolvenbach, March 21 - April 21, 2024, directed by Artistic Director Marti Lyons.

Artistic Director Marti Lyons reflected on the new Remy Bumppo season, “This coming season, we will present two productions that showcase the boldness of vision, caliber of design, and excellence in performance for which Remy Bumppo is known. These plays, one dramatic and one comedic, both have language that spills off the page and stories that grip the heart. Throughout our new season, Remy Bumppo will take audiences on a journey across places and time, all the while speaking directly to the here and now. I am proud to present ‘Blues for an Alabama Sky’ and ‘Love Song’ for our 2023-2024 season.”

All performances will be at Theater Wit, 1229 West Belmont Avenue in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. Subscriptions for the 2023 - 2024 season are $50 - $100 and go on sale Friday, April 28 online at RemyBumppo.org. Single tickets for the productions will be available Wednesday, July 19.
