Strawdog Theatre Company, which is losing its longtime Lakeview home to gentrification, will produce its next season at the Factory Theatre's new space in Rogers Park before relocating to a new permanent home yet to be determined.
Strawdog's three-show slate at the Factory will open with Distance (August 25–October 1), a world premiere by Jerre Dye about a woman with Alzheimer's disease and its impact on the people in her life; Erica Weiss directs. It's followed by a production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline (January 12–February 23), staged by Rob Kauzlaric. A third production, scheduled to run May 11–June 24, 2017, remains to be announced.
