Reviews from "Emigrants"
So "Emigrants" has been closed for a couple of weeks now. We're still getting all this social media off of its feet, so here are links to all of our reviews! Thanks again to all of the fabulous reviews!
Chicago Theatre Blog by Paige Listerud (Recommended)
"For those who crave more intellectual fare and seek a break from the cultural insularity of American life, this small, dense political drama may prove to be a walk on the wild side."
The Reader by Albert Williams (Highly Recommended)
"A rich vein of Eastern European drama has been nourished by Chicago by such theaters as the Chopin, TUTA, and Trap Door. Now add to the list Moving Stories Theatre, founded in August by American actor Joe Mack and Serbian expat Goran Milev."
NewCity Stage by Lisa Buscani (Recommended)
"The two still manage to capture the paralysis of poverty and the yearning for what they can't have."
Time Out Chicago by Ali Weiss (Somewhat Recommended)
"The debut offering from Moving Stories deal, fittingly enough, with two new men in town. Cofounders Mack and Milev play an odd couple of expats in Polish playwright Mrozek's dark comedy."
Thank you so much to everyone who came and saw the show! We're very excited for the rest of our debut season.

EMIGRANTS
MOVING STORIES THEATRE
Proudly presents
EMIGRANTS

Featuring: Joe Mack & Goran Milev
FEBRUARY 3 - 21, 2010 at 8PM
THE ARTISTIC HOME
3914 N. Clark St. Chicago, IL 60613
“THE EMIGRANTS”- Mixes Shock, Parody and Political References to Remind Us Truth Comes from Simple Things. Polish Dramatist Slawomir Mrozek’s Best-Known Play Comes to The Artistic Home Theatre. “The Emigrants,” takes a look at the hopes and dreams of two emigrants, whose behaviors bring an air of absurdity, parody and comedy to the play. The exchange of their political philosophies is juxtaposition between a simple-minded emigrant, XX, played by Goran Milev and an intellectual emigrant, AA, played by Joe Mack.
