Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department alumnus Victor Holstein ’04, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Acting, has joined the cast of the hit play Southern Gothic, which has recently been extended through August 26 at the Windy City Playhouse in Chicago.

Set in 1961 Georgia, the play concerns four couples — old college friends who’ve known each other for decades — who gather to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of their group. But even best friends keep secrets, and over the course of this evening’s party, a few of those are bound to be revealed. As the evening progresses, celebration leads to disaster as relationships are heavily tested. With just 30 audience members per performance, this intimate, immersive production allows viewers to wander about the “set” at their own leisure as they overseeing all the juicy drama unfolding up close.

The show’s sound designer is Columbia College alum Jeffrey Levin ’10, a graduate of the Columbia College Chicago Music Department‘s BA Program in Music with a Composition Concentration. The assistant stage manager is Columbia College alum Audrey Kleine ’17, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Theatre Technology. And Windy City Playhouse’s resident production manager is Columbia College Theatre Department alum Alex Rhyan ’15, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Theatre.

Windy City Playhouse is located at 3014 W. Irving Park, Chicago. For tickets, call 773-891-8985 or click here.
