William L. Petersen to Participate in Victory Gardens 2008-2009 Season

William L. Peterson

The season will begin with Sarah Ruhl's adaptation of Eurydice (October 3-November 9), an astonishingly fresh take on the Greek Orpheus myth. Victory Gardens Associate Artistic Director Sandy Shinner will direct.

Next up will be the return of Chicago folk legend Michael Smith's smash hit musical The Snow Queen(November 28-December 28), based on Hans Christian Andersen's beloved winter tale, directed again by Tony Award-winner Frank Galati, with puppets by Blair Thomas & Co. and choreography by Jim Corti.

The world premiere of Living Green (January 23-March 1), by Gloria Bond Clunie, will tell a timely drama about an upper middle class black family considering a move back to the "old neighborhood." Victory Gardens Resident Director Andrea J. Dymond will direct.

Another world premiere -- Class Dismissed by Jeffrey Sweet - will follow, March 20-April 26. Directed by Victory Gardens Artistic Director Dennis Zacek, the play is a comedic drama set in the free-spirited 1960s about youth and living with the consequences of how you spend it.

Playing May 15-June 14, is the Chicago debut of Aditi Brennan Kapil's Love Person. This intriguing love story, performed in English, Sanskrit, American Sign Language, and projected e-mail, explores language as a portal and barrier to human connection. Sandy Shinner will direct.

Petersen, who earned his Equity card at Victory Gardens, will close out the season in a new project to be announced, directed by Dennis Zacek, July 3-August 9.
