The Distrikt of Lake Michigun: A Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Ridiculous Tragedy
Stage Left Theatre, the second-oldest ensemble-based theatre company in
Chicago, is pleased to announce its spring 2025 production of The Distrikt
of Lake Michigun: A Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Ridiculous
Tragedy (and also completely factual and also true). Written by Stage Left
ensemble member Stephanie Murphy and directed by ensemble member
Seth Wilson, this new play is the outrageous (mostly) true story of George
Streeter, one of the most famous rogues in the history of the Windy City. It
chronicles how Streeterville began as the get-rich-quick scheme of a
fast-talking con man and invites questions about how now, home to some
of the most expensive real estate in the city, things might not be as different
as we might hope.
Previews begin March 14. Opening night is March 28. The show runs
through April 27 at Water Tower Place, 835 N. Michigan Avenue, 6th floor,
Chicago, IL 60611. Tickets are available on the website at
stagelefttheatre.com, or at the following link:
