* (Chicago, IL) Goodman Theatre introduces a new subscription package for 2014,“Great Women at Play,” featuring works written and directed by a handful of the most popular female playwrights working in the American theater today. This special package for women—and men—includes five plays for the price of four, a complimentary visit to the exclusive Goodman Lounge and the opportunity to win a $100 gift certificate from the Goodman’s preferred restaurant partner, Petterino’s. Visit GoodmanTheatre.org/GreatWomen to watch a video of the artists involved in “Great Women at Play,” and to purchase the package. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 312.443.3800 or visiting the Goodman Box Office (170 N. Dearborn). “The plays in the Great Women at Play subscription series are a great representation of the range of work that the Goodman does, and the variety of artists with whom we work,” said Tanya Palmer, Director of New Play Development. Chicago-based playwright Rebecca Gilman, whose newest work, Luna Gale, is part of the package and makes its world premiere in January 2014, added, “What excites me the most about ‘Great Women at Play’ is that the Goodman didn’t plan their season around this subscription package; they simply compiled a season of great plays, and then realized that there were a lot of women storytellers involved. I love working at the Goodman. The theater is dedicated to new plays and new voices, and they work to give the artists involved every opportunity to see their work in its best light. I feel very lucky to be a part of this theater.”
