We Live Here by various writers

Jeff Award nominated for Best New Work, and Video Design and Cinematography

P R E S S:

“Directors Margot Bordelon and Cassy Sanders weave the tales together with deftness, interspersed with video commentary from other Chicagoans about their affinities for the city. It’s all done so thoughtfully as to leave us happily reexamining why we live here.” FOUR STARS

                         - Kris Vire, Time-Out Chicago

“Running through the show is this Nelson Algren-like adage: “You don’t move into Chicago; Chicago moves into you.” Clearly the spirit of Chicago theater has moved into this young, engaging group that boasts a fine sense of physicality and ensemble playing.”
                             - Hedy Weiss, The Chicago Sun-Times

“The show’s eight contributors capture the city’s effects on its citizens in poignant, powerful ways...It’s impossible to highlight standout performances here; everyone’s a rock star...Margot Bordelon and Cassy Sanders’ inventive staging save us from the talking-head monotony of the usual monologue. It’s a slice of crazy life. But it’s ours.”
                             - Lisa Buscani, New City

“The show is funny, lean, aggressive, and sweet, much like the city it portrays...But perhaps the highest praise I can give for this show is that the next day, as I sat in a train car lurching along the el, I looked around the car and wondered what stories my fellow Chicagoans were just waiting to share.”
