Collaboraction is a very exciting, vital theatre group in Chicago. While it is very theatre-based, Collaboraction likes to integrate multi-media. So a show like Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow is a perfect match.
It's a brand-new play that attracted alot of attentions and accolades. It had its premiere in the same festival that Mr. Marmalade did at South Coast Rep.
The premise is a 22-year old adopted Chinese girl must adjust to her world, having been spoiled by the safety and comfort of her computer. She is OCD and agoraphobic, but desperate to find her birth mother in China. And Jennifer finds a unique solution - she designs an android alternate. But in the process of developing her cyber reality, she alienates her real reality.
The production was awesome. High-energy, exciting, funny. Well-acted strong script that really maximized the space. And I think everyone in the primarily female-audience related to parts of Jennifer.
This is an extension of a very successful run. I actually had looked into being their ASM, but had scheduling conflicts. And I am adding this to the list of To-Do shows.
on iTunes: "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" - DJ Chipman (shut up, i like it)
