"At the Artistic Home you find actors who are deeply connected to the text. They are emotionally free, truthful and fearless."     
    - Erica Daniels, Steppenwolf Theater Associate Artistic Director

NOW RUNNING  
THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA  by Tennessee Williams

"A rip roaring production...Highly recommended!" - Hedy Weiss, Sun Times
"The company is back with a stellar production" - New City
"Artistic Director Kathy Scambiaterra directs husband John Mossman as the once-Reverend T. Lawrence 
  Shannon, and he and the production are without flaw. Absolutely brilliant work." - Kelly Kleinman, WBEZ
"Resonates for hours after you’ve left the theater, it’s dense lyricism continuing to haunt long after the 
  curtain falls."- Anthony Mangini, Chicago Critic
"Stellar!  The welcome mat is out. The storefront is open.  Iguana brings the heat." -Katy Walsh
"Steamy Night of the Iguana Puts the Passion Front and Center...A triumph."- Huffington Post
"The ensemble...creates a focused intensity making for riveting suspense" - Windy City TImes
"The intimacy of the new Artistic Home brings a lovely human scale to this poetic and dreamlike piece." - Chicago Tribume
A spiritually-lost reverend battles to save himself amid the denizens of a dilapidated Mexican hotel. Caught between the women who tempt and taunt him, Shannon faces his own personal Gesthemane during the dark tropical night where everyone learns exactly what happens when you come to the end of your rope.  NOW EXTENDED TO MAY 25TH!
Directed by Kathy Scambiatterra, and featuring ensemble members John Mossman, Miranda Zola and Elizabeth Argus, The Night of the Iguana marks the inaugural production in the company's new space at 1376 W. Grand Ave.

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
