Dear Friend,

Out of all the theatres in the country, Tony Award-winner David Rabe chose The Gift to premiere GOOD FOR OTTO. Shortly after opening night our entire run sold out. We've now added an extension which is quickly selling out. 

GOOD FOR OTTO, workshopped with The Gift over three intense weeks in Chicago, has been an experience unlike any other in our 14-year-history. This upcoming Monday, David sits down for a one-night only chat about his life and work. I'll be joining him onstage, and the conversation will be moderated by The Sun-Times' Hedy Weiss.

The subject of mental health is one that touches all our lives, and we want to keep GOOD FOR OTTO running as long as possible so that as many people as possible can benefit from seeing this harrowing and beautiful story. Proceeds from Monday night will help us do exactly that.

So whether or not you've already attended GOOD FOR OTTO, please join me Monday night for an intimate evening with one of our American theatre living legends, David Rabe.

Much love,

MPT
