About This Show

Steppenwolf presents the world premiere of Man From Nebraska, by ensemble member Tracy Letts, and directed by associate artist Anna D. Shapiro.

A luxury sedan, a church pew, and visits to a nursing home form the comfortable round of Ken Carpenter’s daily life. And then one night, he awakens to find that he no longer believes in God. This crisis of faith propels an ordinary middle-aged man into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. This wickedly funny and spiritually complex play examines the effects of one man’s awakening on himself and his family.

Weekday matinees are at 3:00 on select Wednesdays.
