Rehearsals are about to conclude for Steppenwolf Theatre Company’s Chicago premiere of CONSTELLATIONS, the 80-minute, award-winning hit by British playwright Nick Payne. Directed here by prolific Chicago director and Steppenwolf artistic producer Jonathan Berry, CONSTELLATIONS premiered at the Royal Court in London to rave reviews before transferring to the West End and Broadway. The romantic two-hander stars ensemble member Jon Michael Hill as Roland (CBS-TV’s Elementary, Steppenwolf’s Superior Donuts) and Jessie Fisher as Marianne (Once on Broadway, Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s Othello). CONSTELLATIONS begins previews May 26, 2016, and runs through July 3, 2016, in the Upstairs Theatre, 1650 N Halsted St. Tickets ($20 - $89; $35 tickets offered every Tuesday with code ‘TUESDAYS’) are available at 312-335-1650 and steppenwolf.org.
