The Syndicate and Cloudgate Theatre Company have announced the cast for the world premiere of Kristin Idaszak’s ANOTHER JUNGLE inspired by Uptown Sinclair’s “The Jungle.”

Directed by Tara Branham, the production features Ellenor Riley-Condit, Gregory Geffrard, Paula Ramirez, and Rich Holton.

The production team includes Dominic DiGiovanni (Technical Direction), Andrea Enger (Production Stage Manager), Sarah Espinoza (Sound Design), Lila Gilbert (Production Manager), Jared Gooding (Lighting Design), Tanuja Jagernauth (Dramaturgy), Gaby Labotka (Fight Choreography), Angela McIlvain (Props Master/Puppets/Scenic Artist), Catherine Miller (Assistant Director), Shaun Renfro (Scenic Design), and Anna Wooden (Costume Design).

From the press release: “Developed with support from the Playwrights' Center’s Jerome Fellowship, Another Jungle begins when the audience arrives at the theatre to see a show about Chicago’s famed slaughterhouses – only to find that the play has been canceled. Instead, the writer is there to give a slideshow presentation about the history of the stockyards. In trying to explore her family’s Polish identity and the exploitation of stockyard workers, the writer unintentionally exposes a trauma from her own past.”

ANOTHER JUNGLE runs April 10th – April 29th. For more information visit cloudgatetheatre.com.
