We at New Suit have many reasons to be thankful this year. We had a successful production of JedIraq this spring, our inaugural production! We are in the midst of producing Rebecca Kling's Trans Form, which we are incredibly thankful to share with all of you. We are thankful for our Chicago audience members, who come out to see our shows! We are thankful that New Suit is comprised of a great group of friends who can continue to work on their art together. We are thankful for these friends and others, for our families, for our health, and for working in a country where we have the freedom to share our art in an effort to educate others.
And lastly, we are thankful for this review from Paige Listerud at the Chicago Theater Blog:
Rebecca Kling’s one-woman show, Trans Form is decidedly, consciously intimate and low-key. It renders in minute detail the everyday ways in which transgender people can feel their personal authenticity subverted or denied. That Kling unsentimentally reflects on how she has denied herself in the past is one of the more intriguing and thoughtful elements of this one-act play, produced by New Suit Theatre and co-directed by Kristin Idaszak and Kate McGroarty.
Enjoy your holiday, and be sure to stop in between turkey bites and give a little thanks for all the wonderful things that happened this past year, big and small.
