With Late Night At Garage Rep Steppenwolf Returns To Its Roots

Steppenwolf Theatre is going back to its own late-night roots for a new series, Late Night at Garage Rep. Following each of Garage Rep’s Thursday-night performances from March 6 to April 17, Late Night will feature performances from up-and-coming Chicago artists. No two weeks will be the same; the lineup promises music, poetry, and some strong words for James Franco.

The Gift Theater brings its popular improv group Natural Gas (4/10) to Garage Rep for an entire show based around a single audience suggestion. “Their show contained more than the usual moments of spontaneous delight—and occasional splashes of pure inspiration,” wrote Reader contributor Jack Helbig, who spent an evening with the group over the summer.
