Beaten  
By Scott Woldman   World Premiere
What would it take to make you embrace your inner Ralph Macchio? Use your fists in anger? Smoke pot from a potato? Beaten, a world-premiere play from Chicago Dramatist resident playwright Scott Woldman, picks up a year after daughter Chloe suffers serious injury at the hands of her true love Jason. Housebound and haunted, Chloe is cared for by her cancer-stricken, pot-smoking, alcohol-swilling grandmother and her desperately tightly-wound mother, whose own complicated relationship pushes and pulls at the recovering girl. Add to the mix nerd-next-door Greg, who yearns to be Chloe’s knight in shining armor, and you have the intimate story of five people who refuse to give in to the idea that love may not beat all. Directed by Artistic Home ensemble member Katherine Swan, Beaten features ensemble members Kathy Scambiatterra and Kristin Collins, with guest artists Kathryn Acosta, Conor McCahill and Joe Wiens
Opens June 30.

John Mossman's INTO THE WAKE coming soon to Netflix

Picture

Artistic Home co-founder and instructor John Mossman's critically acclaimed indie feature starring many Artistic Home alumni recently returned to the Gene Siskel Center by popular demand.  Be sure to save it to your cue on Netflix!


"Among this writer's favorite films of the year" - Chicago Journal
"Stunning" - Trashwire
"An impressive directorial debut.  The kind of movie one hopes to discover when watching unsigned, unknown movies at film festivals, Into the Wake is a smart impressionistic mystery-cum-thriller. " - Tonight at the Movies
