Clara joined Idle Muse for Girl Found, written by Barbara Lhota. It is being presented by Idle Muse Theatre Company at The Edge Theater Directed by Alison Dornheggen.

​

Chicago theatre company Idle Muse presented the breathtaking world premiere of Barbara Lhota's gripping drama Girl Found at The Edge Theatre. Inspired by true events, the mystery thriller is not only a harrowing character study of damage and survival in the present day, but tackles identity and the notion of truth. Balancing the realities of a cruel world with moments of hope and redemption, Girl Found and its fierce female characters present a complex portrait of a modern family struggling in the wake of personal trauma.

​

Four years since she mysteriously vanished, a 17-year-old girl resurfaces without a single memory of where she's been. She is soon able to remember her name Sophie Sobin, and is returned to her aunt Ellie and mother Eva much to their relief. Yet her joyful homecoming is overshadowed by the fractures that her disappearance has caused, and her memory loss threatens to push the family even further past breaking point.

UBU II
Electric Boog-Ubu, or Free Ubu
Adapted from Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Enchaîné
Directed by Nick Freed*

WARNING: THIS PROFANE HISSY FIT CONTAINS CONTENT THAT IS LIKELY TO OFFEND ANYONE OF GOOD CHARACTER OR WHO ENJOYS LIFE.

PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT ONLY UNNECESSARY FOR YOU TO HAVE SEEN THE FIRST ONE, IT IS PREFERABLE.


This even nastier and dumber sequel to our nasty and dumb adaptation of Alfred Jarry’s Ubu Roi sees the horrible Ubus visit a place even more depraved and corrupt than the 19th-century Poland they were chased out of in the first play: America. There, trapped in a sequel they never asked for (and are actively trying to destroy), they’ll discover freedom is slavery, knowledge is dumb, and doom looms large on the horizon. Featuring a farting corpse, unnecessary blasphemy, relentless stupidity, and bad jokes, Ubu II (based on Jarry’s Ubu Enchaîné, the third play in the series, just to make things more confusing) is the perfect play to warm your hands by as the world burns.
