The Goodman Theatre has announced that its 90th-anniversary season will now feature a production of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes, which will run from May 2-June 5, 2015. The play will be directed by Henry Wishcamper, a member of the Goodman's Artistic Collective.

The Little Foxes is described as "an absorbing examination of the dark side of the American Dream." It follows Regina Hubbard Giddens, a Southern woman who struggles for freedom within her early 20th-century society when her brothers require her investment in their industrialized cotton mill.

The Goodman's 90th season will also include the Pulitzer Prize finalist Rapture, Blister, Burn, August Wilson's Two Trains Running, the Tony-winning comedy Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, Noah Haidle's Smokefall, and more.

Established in 1922, The Goodman is Chicago's oldest not-for-profit theater. It is committed to producing classic and contemporary works, giving full voice to a wide range of artists and visions.
