​​​The Distrikt of Lake Michigun:

A Most Lamentable Comedy

and Most Ridiculous Tragedy

(and also completely factual and also true)

Written by ensemble member Stephanie Murphy.

Directed by ensemble member Seth Wilson.

​

Shortly after the Great Fire, “Captain” George Streeter and his wife Ma are building a utopian community on a sandbar in Lake Michigan right outside the city limits of Chicago. Unfortunately, his ex-wife Minnie is tagging along to set the record straight. Combining elements of Greek tragedy, vaudeville, farce, history play, and Brechtian lehrstücke, this is the outrageous (mostly) true story of how Chicago’s most expensive neighborhood came into existence.

Don't miss the entertainment! Please note that there is colorful language and saucy situations and we suggest this is for adults only.

This just in - show your day of ticket to the show to the good people at Harry Carey's Seventh Inning Stretch restaurant one floor up from our show at Water Tower Place for 15% off your meal! They're great - the Distrikt team has been there quite a bit and we're big fans!

There is parking in the mall garage - while we are unable to offer validation, using Spothero does offer some savings. Also there is street parking and other garages nearby.
