"Year One"

Wild Goose Players is opening a new 40-seat black-box studio where live shows will be performed in an intimate theatrical setting. The inaugural production in the space will be Year One opening in September. The dark, gritty drama follows a family struggling against the violent rise of authoritarianism and is written and directed by Chicago playwright Erik Gernand. This is the play's second production, following a successful run in New Jersey in 2021 that The Star-Ledger in Newark called, "A compelling dive into extremism's creep... It leaves audiences with the difficult task of recognizing the seeds of evil concealed in otherwise perfectly pleasant people.
"The show features five regional actors and will be produced in the round with only a single row of seating. " The forty audience members will be mere feet from the action," said Gernand, who also teaches dramatic writing at Northwestern University. "You'll intensely feel every moment of the story."
