A former Roscoe Village warehouse, The Viaduct Theater has been transformed into a popular and affordable space for itinerant theater companies in Chicago. The space also boasts a full-service bar and an eclectic roster of musical acts, film events and other performances. Its first inaugural self-production, "Hellhound on My Trail" by Denis Johnson in 2002 drew rave
reviews. The company, helmed by theater owners Whitney Blakemore and Robert Whitaker, will continue to work with Johnson's plays through 2003 to produce innovative, groundbreaking theater.
