A Word From Our Director...

Call for Collaborators

We will be holding open auditions on Saturday, August 22 for our currently untitled fall project- an ensemble created work surrounding the theme of finding yourself at odds with the expectations and conventions of society. Actors will be scheduled for half-hour time slots between 2pm-5pm for a performance-based audition. Auditions will be held at 1802 W Berenice in North Center. If you are interested, send your headshot and resume to genesis.auditions@gmail.com. In the body of your email tell us your availability for Saturday, as well as why you are interested in ensemble created theatre and working with our company.


We will be rehearsing 4-nights a week from August 31 until October 28 and performing 4-weekends from October 29 through November 22.

The Reader says:

"Few things are better for the continued health of the Chicago theatre scene than bands of recent college grads setting up shop here-- especially when they're creating original, idiosyncratic work.  Not long out of Miami University, Genesis Ensemble debuts with an installation/ performance at the uber-funky Peter Jones Gallery, combining monologues, movement pieces, music, and audience activities. ...director Lindsey Barlag draws disarmingly candid performances from the seven-member troupe."

Time Out says:

"Secrets and its actors demonstrate a refreshingly lively take on their own grave enterprise."

New City Stage says:

"The group's interactive efforts are successful; they include the audience without intimidating it.  ...It's refreshing to see a new troupe try something so ambitious; creating original work can be difficult as a group finds its footing."
