Dinner with Friends

Bluebird Arts  kicks off its sixth season with Donald Margulies’ Dinner with Friends at Theater Wit (Chicago, IL). The show runs Saturday, October 19 through Saturday, November 23, 2024. 

ABOUT THE PLAY Dinner with Friends is a Pulitzer Prize-winner that centers on two couples—Gabe and Karen, and their longtime friends Tom and Beth—whose relationships are tested when Tom and Beth announce their divorce. Through recollections and revelations, this drama holds up a mirror—to love, loyalty, and the evolving dynamics of human connections in friendship and marriage. What’s the worst that could happen?

Directed by Luda Lopatina Solomon, Bluebird Arts’ production features N. Emil Thomas as Gabe, Dana Muelchi as Karen, Sarah Seidler as Beth, and Alex Oberheide as Tom. They will be joined by a Creative Team of Angela Kring (Stage Manager), Samantha Rausch (Set Design), Matt Ledajaks (Technical Designer), Rachel Hartmann (Assistant T.D.), Karina Osbourne (Lighting Design), Emily Lynch (Sound Design), Bisa (Costume Designer), Bob Pries (Props/Set Dressing), Bella Bianci (Scenic Build), Abby Palen (Scenic Charge) Laura Sturm (Intimacy Coordinator), Dana Muelchi (Marketing and Media), Jaimelyn Gray (Press and Box Office Liason), and N. Emil Thomas (Production Manager).
