Get a First Look at the Chicago Premiere of Daniel Pearle's A Kid Like Jake

About Face Theatre's A Kid Like Jake has begun performances at the Greenhouse Theater Center. The play centers on two parents, Alexandra and Greg, and their son, Jake, who expresses a passion for dressing up, as well as for Cinderella, while competing for enrollment at competitive Manhattan kindergarten programs. The work explores current assumptions of parenting and gender as well as their relationship to education and acceptance.

The play is directed by Keira Fromm and written by Daniel Pearle. It features Cindy Gold (Loving Repeating), Katherine Keberlein (Smokefall), Michael Aaron Lindner (Music Man), and Jessica Dean Turner (Season on the Line, TV's Crisis). The creative team includes Dan Stratton (set design), Mieka van der Ploeg (costume design), Christine Binder (lighting design), Christopher Kriz (sound design), and Emily Guthrie (props design).

Performances will run through March 15.
