It all adds up for the little Evanston theater that could
chicagotribune.com: "An ambitious but relentlessly arty and intellectual little theater company from Evanston comes up with the notion of turning Elmer Rice's 1923 thudding expressionistic drama 'The Adding Machine' into (wait for it, wait for it) a brand new musical! A deadly serious musical! By a totally unknown composer from Milwaukee! The major Chicago critics love it! (Even though the characters are dead-eyed automatons who go by digits rather than names.) A visiting New York critic loves it!"

Yeah for Chicago theatre!!!
This in and of itself is the most rewarding and also most horrifying attribute that theatre has to offer to its artists. The fact that any writer from any theatre can create something that receives attention from a city 500+ miles away and make instant hopefuls out of the cast is something I will always cherish about this business
