Artemisia announces it’s 13th season will open with a immersive soundscape production of GOODS by Lauren Ferebee, directed by Erin Nicole Eggers. Performances are July 8th - July 28th, 2024 at the Little Studio in the Fine Arts Building at 410 S Michigan Ave.
Embark on an intergalactic journey with Marla and Sam, two resilient women navigating the cosmos as seasoned trash collectors in the year 2100. Amidst the vastness of space, their compact spaceship serves as a sanctuary from the chaos of Earth’s turmoil. As they commemorate two decades of partnership, their routine anniversary route takes an unforeseen turn, thrusting them into a confrontation with the pressing issues they’ve sought to escape, including societal collapse and personal demons. Join them on a poignant exploration of friendship, identity, and the weight of the world they carry among the stars.
“This season is very exciting to me,” says interim Artistic Director Willow James. “Now in our 13th season, I think it's about time we revisit a few of the projects that shaped who Artemisia is. Our We Women Festival will finally bring back our beloved new play festival that was an Artemisia staple for years, and Goods launched us into the pandemic and allowed us to reshape how we wanted to respond to the world we live in. After an amazing 12th season with To Love & Be Loved and Inda Craig-Galván's A Hit Dog Will Holler, I hope our community will join us this year as we produce our season in residence at The Fine Arts Building.”
The first preview for GOODS is Monday, July 8th at 7 p.m. Press opening is Thursday, July 11th at 7:00 p.m. Performances continue through July 28th: Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m., Sunday at 2:30 p.m. All performances are Pay-What-You-Can.
The GOODS production team includes Lydia Moss (Dramaturg), Kyle Anthony Cortes (Sound Designer), and Julie Jachym (Production Manager).
