The 2004 Season

The freaks of Defiant Theatre are at it again with their 11TH SEASON.

After last year's spectacular 10th Anniversary bash, we're getting rowdy this year with a highly anticipated return, a swashbuckling original production, and a decadent classic. All three shows promise to bring the blood... the excitement... the DEFIANT.

Don't miss out on what promises to be our most over-the-top, action-packed, gore-soaked, riot-inducing, balls-to-the-wall season yet.

Spring

Action Movie: The Play

Written and directed by Joe Foust and Richard Ragsdale
April 18 – June 13
At the Chopin Theater
1543 W. Division | Chicago

Yes it's the return of Defiant's original action-packed extravaganza. It's been far too long since we all had a little Action Movie in our lives, and we're ready to correct that problem. Kung fu, car chases, alligator wrestling – it's all here, all live, all Action baby. You can't miss this.

Summer

The Pyrates

Based upon the novel by
George MacDonald Fraser
Adapted by Justin Fletcher and Richard Ragsdale
Directed by Justin Fletcher

1543 W. Division | Chicago

Burly buccaneers! Saucy wenches! Buried treasure! Writhing octopuses (octopi?)! Look'ee, camarado...this world premiere adaptation is everything you could want in a pirate movie, but we do it onstage before yer very eyes! An' we need no Johnny Depp, wi' a curse!

Fall

A Clockwork Orange

by Anthony Burgess
adapted from his novel
directed by Christopher Johnson

Grab a friend, head over to your local milk-bar, then come see Defiant take on this classic tale of decadent hoodlums, gruesome murder, ultra ultra-violence and a little of the old in-out-in-out, all downtown in the lovely Loop theater district.
