Tickets are on sale now for Dream Hou$e, a new horror comedy set inside of a home improvement TV show. Two sisters are appearing on an HGTV-style reality show to sell their family home, hoping to capitalize on the gentrification in their “changing neighborhood.” As they perform for the camera the show starts to slip into the surreal: one sister grapples with turmoil in the family’s ancestral past and the other learns how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the family’s future. Dream Hou$e runs from Sept. 12 until Oct. 18 at The Den Theater in Wicker Park.

Rather than allow this season to be defined by what we lost, we’re choosing to move forward in a way that celebrates our values and supports our community. We got our creative team together and built The Shortlist—a new festival of workshops and staged readings, showcasing plays we’re considering for our seventh season. The Shortlist is about more than just testing scripts. It’s a chance to gather with audiences, elevate Chicago talent, and share the stories that are inspiring us right now. These workshops are part of our process of season-building—and by joining us, you’re part of shaping Refracted’s future, too. All performances are free with a suggested donation of your choosing. The Shortlist Lineup September 19–20 – Basically Children by Charlie O’Leary, directed by Patrick Starner September 26–27 – LUMIN by Emma Gibson, directed by Kenya Ann Hall October 3–4 – New Oleanna by Zach Barr, directed by Katy Campbell October 10–11 – Mystery Workshop, directed by Amy Carpenter October 17–18 – Mystery Workshop, directed by Tova Wolff We are so excited to for this series and we hope to see you at a few of them!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1738568732353-SF8JYMM6QCI6E6V7YH20/Refracted+Reflected+intro+1.png Instagram - Refracted Reflected https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1742829037130-9T352PBW13KG3Y7VFU0O/SOCIALS.jpg Instagram - Lumin Role Call Announcement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1726243241172-8Z3H0Y0VV1CZDQAS9KYE/1.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1718371194660-2TUOEROQ8PBXI5F1BPC2/1.jpg Instagram - Calling Chicago Playwrights Are you a Chicago playwright??? We want to host a reading of your play! We're a small but mighty, award-winning, non-profit theatre company dedicated to connecting Chicago-based theatre artists and theatre-lovers through our free play reading series, Role Call. We've got 2 readings coming up this year in which we'd love to feature some local playwrights. If you're interested in being considered, you can submit your play at the link in our bio. We're taking submissions on a rolling basis, so there's no firm deadline but sooner's usually better than later, y'know? Also! During Roll Call we like to focus discussion around themes and ideas rather than critiques of the play. As part of the submission, you'll be asked to share a "Refracted Question" which is our ~branded~ way of saying that we want to lead a discussion that welcomes nuance and varied, diverse perspectives. More about that in the submission form! Save this post or share it with a friend! We can't wait to hear from you!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1723480014636-7PZ00TIB6XLQRMKCAFX1/Coronation+FINAL+NO+QR.jpg Instagram - Buy Your Ticket to Coronation! Refracted presents Coronation Written by Laura Winters Directed by Tova Wolff After another female candidate loses the American presidential election, three women invent a way to circumvent elections and place a woman in power permanently: all hail the Queen of America! A femme-futurist political satire, this production will challenge all of your notions around storefront theater in Chicago, as you double over in laughter and tremble with fear.

ANNOUNCING - Refracted Theatre Company's season 4 line up. We can guarantee that nowhere else in Chicago will you see anything quite as next-level, “oh my god is this happening”-vibes as what we are putting on stage this year. FIRST Tambo & Bones is a dark comedy (and rap concert) that forces the audience to question their role in the production. THEN A Play About David Mamet Writing a Play About Harvey Weinstein is a play written by a white woman who is considering the misogyny of the theatre industry while taking into account her own complicity. MEANWHILE Roll Call is a community partnership with Third Space that will offer a creative home for theatre-lovers. Every month we're calling on you to meet and engage with new plays and new ideas. Stay tuned for the announcement of this month's reading. So - what? Are you in? Or are you in? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1670625586708-ZQXVZZ7RF5N35IBPSJCI/IMG_0167.jpg Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1669049538991-I8ONCIWLNAO8WESJLE7E/New+Play+Social+-+ALICA_221108.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1668790692466-ESS8SPKLSTYO5JLTXQIO/Wo23+Prod+Photo+2.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1668710392375-079RKLQ9V98R7PUE7YTO/New%2BPlay%2BSocial%2B-%2BADONIS_221108.jpg Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1668481535372-79O5RRW646FIF2GRM7PD/Wo23%2B%25231.jpg Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1668029304135-Y5T4CH3NN5CPC153BEPZ/image.jpg Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1668106314625-02EO31H8RGU6SMU809DJ/image-asset.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1664452018915-JC0DZSR3JHKUHXP4WLXJ/Last+Chance.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1664282792671-SUAO9JNEOI7DAJ5RSH15/preview+website+thumb.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1663933483150-AHJZXMZFJO3XUIBXBGD6/Adam+Thatcher+Review.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1663932956739-BKMD5CZF1707AR99NK1Z/Tomorrow+Sold+Out_St+Sebastian-19.png Instagram https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1663781734189-8FJ3690CX0ULM9S02LTW/image-asset.jpeg Instagram https://www.refractedco.com/home daily 1.0 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1571656868212-6PYR3R69E92Q7BC8X8ZV/under+the+sea+copy.png Home Flipping the story.

I'm an actor living in New York and a Proud member of SAG/AFTRA , AEA. I am also a lifetime member of The Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York. I love Theatre/TV/film and all things acting ever since I first saw Sidney Poitier in "A Raisin in the Sun". My dream as an actor is to create a body of work that will be seen for years to come and that will touch other people the way this movie touched me. I have been honored to have studied with some of the finest artist/teachers in the business. My studies have taken me from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts to the City University of New York where I earned a BFA in acting/theatre to the William Esper Studio where I studied with Bill Esper. I currently take classes and coaching from New York acting coach Rob McCaskill. My passion for exploration of different cultures, different souls and different lives is the fuel that drives me in the world of acting. I want to share those stories. www.ivanmoore.net https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d74103a6b108c122301817b/1620309877874-3UUXR43I9FVV0ER8VXWQ/Kyle+Starling+1x1.png I Couldn't Tell You Why - Kyle Starling Kyle Starling (he/him) is a NYC based performing artist.
