The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui
Directed by Jonathan Berry, Brecht's epic ensemble piece recounts Hitler's rise to power through the story of a gangster's attempt to take over the Cauliflower Trade in 1930's Chicago.
Chicago gangsters, political corruption, scare tactics and extortion in the vegetable business parallel the players and maneuvers involved in the Nazi's ascent to power in the years leading up to the Second World War. Arturo Ui's manipulation of terror and apathy for political gain undoubtedly will continue Steep's tradition of bringing stories to the stage that strike a chord with the "everyperson".
Featuring ensemble members Jonathan Edwards, Alex Gillmor, Brendan Melanson, Peter Moore, Jim Poole, and Julia Siple with Sean Bolger, Ariel Brenner, Steve Gensler, Yosh Hayashi, Shole Milos, Paul Myers, Josh Odor, Eddie Paul, and Jon Stutzman
