caffeine theatre was where i got a second chance to be an actor. friend and founder of caffeine, jennifer shook, got me involved at the inception – i was able to work on many of the company’s first productions and have kept involved from afar as they have gone on to greater and greater things. but, as all good things do, caffeine theatre has come to an end. chicago bids farewell to a brilliant collective where obscure and language-driven texts could come to life.
end of an era. good to the last drop.
i don’t know how long the site will remain active but please continue to visit the CAFFEINE WEBSITE

The Oxford Roof Climber’s Rebellion
by Stephen Massicotte
Directed by Thomas Weitz
“What life to lead and where to go, After the war, after the war?” In the aftermath of World War I, the poet Robert Graves and T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) languish at Oxford facing disillusionment with the war that still haunts them. Playing mischievous pranks on university administrators passes the time but soon escalates into a climactic confrontation that brings the Arab Revolt dangerously close to home. A Chicago Premiere!
Featuring Lucy Carapetyan, Brian Grey, Vincent P. Mahler, Ian McCabe, and Kevin Mullaney
